On October 19, 2023, we travelled to Cotulla for a tussle with the Cowboys. It was a hard-fought game that ended up going our way. Our defense was clicking yesterday. What was special about it was that we used all 23 players on our roster to pitch a “shut-out”. We took a page out of Coach Freddie Martinez book and his High School Defense staff of Coach Bippert, Clark and Hettler to learn to bend but not break while using all available players. A few players that stepped up yesterday were Jaxon Hunt, Joseph Jimenez, Isaiah Cortez, Ethan Peralta, Jaden Rios, and Ivan Mireles. These young men have waited for their number to be called most of the season and when it was called yesterday, they responded.
We ask for prayers for a couple of our players. Diego Lopez lost a member of his family the previous weekend and Elliot Mata left the field yesterday for “precautionary” reasons. It’s so nice to see this group rally around their Football brothers.
