The Eagle Pass Eagles traveled to The Gateway City and came away with a hard fought 24-7 victory on Thursday night, I say this because there were only three points scored in the entire first half.
Both defenses battled it out to a 3-0 halftime score with only an Ivan Cruz field goal on the board.
But then The Burnt Orange and White clad Eagles came out of the locker room a much better, more focused offensive unit.
This is how it all went down at The SAC in Laredo.
In the first half, names like Ricardo Martinez who sacked the LBJ QB, Ryan Rhea who broke up a pass, Alex Ruiz who was all over the place, Anthony Paniagua who made several tackles, Anthony Chacon breaking up passes and the Eagle defenders who kept The Wolves off the board.
In the second half, The Eagles scored on their first possession, followed by a long drive by LBJ aided by penalties scored, then Xavier Barrera showed his scrambling skills to run all over the field en route to a thirty plus yard touchdown run to make it 17-7.
Luis Flores scored at the end of the game from four yards out to make it 24-7.

The Year? 1978. Several baseball teams from our community, two to be exact, had gotten to The State Semi-Finals, but none had ever won State. In team sports, as far as we or anybody knew, none had knocked down the proverbial door. The 1974 Eagle Pass Lions Little League All Stars went to Waco, but lost to a team from Lunberton.

Era el 6 de junio. Normandía, Francia. Era el día D. En este día mostramos nuestra admiración y aprecio por proteger a nuestro país de la tiranía y la injusticia. Como se muestra en Salvar al soldado Ryan, fue la peor masacre en la historia militar estadounidense, y los nazis no dieron tiempo a ninguno de nuestros muchachos para respirar y mucho menos llegar sanos y salvos a la orilla.

¿Sabías que The Ol' Ballpark at Duncan era uno de los parques más antiguos para este gran juego en nuestra nación?

What can you tell our readers about last week's game and your performance?
I believe that although at the end of the day we came out short and did not leave with a win, I know my team and I gave it our all. I put my heart and soul into this sport and play every single game like it’s my last.
