By Brian Gibson, Athletic Director and Football Coach –
The Van Horn Eagles went on the road Friday night to Badger stadium
in McCamey to open District play. Despite a strong showing by the Eagle
team, McCamey pushed out on top in the second quarter of play with 22
points in the quarter and held on for a 42 to 24 victory.
The Eagles are now 0 – 1 in district play and will travel to Iraan on
Friday to face off against the Braves in a 7:30 p.m. contest.
Scoring in every quarter of the game, the Eagles outpaced the Badgers
in every category except the second quarter scoring. With a strong head
wind blowing directly in the face of the Van Horn offense, we could not
change the field position battle and McCamey was able to capitalize on
the short field.
The Eagle offense completed 52% of their passes on Friday night for
206 yards and rushed the ball 53 yards for 216 yards outgaining the
Badger offense by 82 total yards. Great job by the Eagle offensive line
on Friday night: Kyle Seyffert, Nando Subia, Mattew Acosta, Miguel
Velez, Luis Gonzalez, Carlos Tarango, Roman Rocha, and Jaime Santa
Cruz.Game Statistics:
