Last Friday, October 7, 2022, the Pirate football team took on Poteet in Game One of District play and the Pirates went toe to toe with the Aggies, the defending District Champions. A run-heavy game led to a fast game, but we were able to see a great defensive effort by the Pirates, who made Poteet earn every yard. We also were able to score on an aerial strike from Quarterback Toby Davila to Wide Receiver Darren Martinez, his first of the season, and a blocked extra point kick on Special Teams by Defensive Tackle Jake Guevara. It was a tight contest and the Pirates played extremely hard against a quality team. The coaching staff is extremely proud of our team and we appreciate all the support we continue to receive from our Pirate Family.
Final score 7-27
Offensive standouts include Freshman Quarterback Toby Davila (8/16 for 97 yards and 1 touchdown; 10 rushes for 46 yards), Junior Running Back Amadeus Trejo-Perez (7 rushes for 31 yards; 1 rec. for 18 yards), Senior Wide Receiver Connor Martin (2 receptions for 17 yards), Senior Wide Receiver Hudson Mask (2 receptions for 26 yards) and Senior Wide Receiver Darren Martinez (2 rec. for 35 yards and 1 touchdown). We also had some stellar performances on the offensive line from Senior Austin Dubose, Junior Hector Anaya, Sophomore Damien Ramon and Freshman Devin Cordova.
Defensive standouts include Senior Safety Albert Aguilar (8 solo tackles, 10 assists, 1 forced fumbles), Junior Defensive Lineman Mario Diaz (8 solo tackles, 4 assists, 2 tackle for loss), Senior Defensive Lineman Austin Dubose (6 solo tackles, 2 assists, 1 quarterback hurry), Junior Inside Linebacker Anthony Perdomo (7 solo tackles), Sophomore Outside Linebacker Carlos Gonzalez (6 solo tackles, 3 assists) Junior Defensive Lineman Jake Guevara (1 solo tackle, 6 assists, 1 quarterback hurry) and Junior Defensive Lineman Adriel Galindo (3 assists, 1 solo, 2 tackles for loss).
