In the trenches, my father used to tell me, things go on that are not even seen by the referees on the field. His horror stories often included what some may call 'Cheap shots' but he also used to say that turnabout is fair play and when it comes down to having to line up against the biggest, fastest, strongest players on the opposing team for four quarters every Friday night, Sammy Ibarra, was a diminutive, fiery player who lettered four years for Cozel Foster's Eagle Pass Eagles and was All District three of the four, #62 used to say, "Anything goes.", and usually that's the nature of playing on the offensive line.

The Eagle Pass Eagles traveled to Laredo on a rare Thursday Night matchup against the United South Panthers and came away with a convincing 21-0 victory. In the second quarter, the Eagles managed to put together a sustained drive behind the running of Jesse Sanchez, Carlos Villarreal and Willie Lopez to set up a three yard QB sneak by QB Ty Chisum.

The CC Winn Mavericks traveled to the Queen City to take on the Del Rio Rams at Levermann Stadium in their first District 29-AAAAA tilt of the season.
The spirit of Carl Guys had to be feeling the Friday Night Lights and he was probably wondering why Eagle Pass was donned in Silver & Black as the Rams drew first blood on a fifty yard drive that culminated in a spectacular 12 yard run by Ram QB Jorge Fernandez.

Eagle Pass
When playing the vital position of safety on defense, I, as a coach and fan have always told my defensive backs to promise me one thing, and many if not all of them can tell you, "Whatever you do, promise me that the first play coming your way will not be an interception. I want you to let them know how it's gonna be... all night long." What I'm referring to is if the defensive back so chooses, he will not go after the ball, but to wait until the receiver touches the ball and inflict as much punishment as they can, trying to keep him from holding on to the ball. When I asked Coach Tom Gonzalez about his safeties this year, he mentioned that if this is the case in either of their areas, they will light you up. Especially in Kevin Chisum's case as he feels that his one year of experience at the position can be seen this season as the 6'1", 175 Lb. Junior enters his second season as the starting strong safety for the Eagles. We recall that his grandfather, Frank Chisum was also a highly recruited safety in his days in Cozell Foster's Eagle "D" as well as in Texas A&I's National Championship run in the early 60's alongside All-State Eagle Tackle Enrique "La Gorila" Ibarra.

Eagle Pass
The San Luis Cardinal Connection Inferno and the Mancha Mustangs renewed their rivalry from last season with a defensive battle not for the faint of heart. Inferno quarterback Diego Ibarra had a couple of completions early to Mario Barrientos and Alexander Reyna, but he was unable to connect with Arturo Sanchez for the first down and they were forced to punt on their first possession. The first unit from Mancha was also unable to convert, then the game turned into a defensive struggle highlighted by the exceptional play of Javier Cerda and Alexander Reyna who gave the Mustangs headaches all night and kept the Red and Black at bay pushing them back with quarterback sack after quarterback sack. Ibarra almost connected on a 40 yard bomb with Isaias Ramirez for a touchdown, but a Mustang defender was on the play and Ramirez was unable to cradle the perfect throw that barely cleared the outstretched had o f the Mancha defender. When the game went into overtime, Mancha went first and was unable to score. Then the Inferno threw a pass on first down that was intercepted in the endzone, nullifying the four-play overtime rule. Mancha tried again, this time from the three yard line but again, Reyna and Cerda imposed their will on the Mustangs holding them scoreless in four plays. On their first play in double overtime, Ibarra found Reyna on a swing pass which Mancha stopped at the one yard line, then a handoff to Cerda was stopped behind the line of scrimmage. It was on third down that Ibarra found Rudy Botello all alone in the middle of the endzone for the Inferno touchdown. An incredible read and a great catch as Mancha had all wide receivers well covered. The final score in this game was 6-0. The Inferno meet the Cardinals in a San Luis showdown on Saturday. In other action, the Sam Houston Cougars beat the B&G Club 28-0 and Liberty defeated OLOR 13-0. On Tuesday, the Tigers beat the Coogs 8-0, it was the Stallions over the Raiders 16-0 and the Falcons beat the B&G Club 13-0. In Girl's Division II Volleyball action, the lady Roadrunners befeated lady Fabs 2-1, the Lady Tigers beat the Cardinals 2-1, the Lady Stallions beat the Lady Miners 2-1 and Lady Eagles Blue beat the Tigers 2-0.

A.D. Ibarra -Eagle Pass
Whenever you ask a bull rider what he's thinking before he gets into the chute with some of the fiercest, rankest bucking bulls in the world, they'll tell you that they are the happiest in that exact situation. " I love riding bulls," says Lane Nobles, the #1 rider on the Southern extreme Bull Riders Association Tour, "When I'm climbing down, I'm all smiles, ready to get on and have fun hoping to have a good ride and see how hard I can spur." The adrenaline rush that they feel when that bull is contorting, bellowing, twisting and grinding is what these men on a mission are living for. "When you ride a good one and you know you worked him, when you hear that whistle (That signifies a successful eight-second ride for points), you're on Cloud 9."
