The Uvalde Coyotes were able to pull ahead of the Eagle Pass CC Winn Mavericks after the first quarter touchdown duel resulting in a win for the Coyote varsity team Friday night at the Honey Bowl Stadium.
The Coyotes defense was able to prevent the Mavericks from driving to the end zone forcing the Mav’s to punt at fourth down several times.
The Coyotes were also able to snag the Mav’s on a couple of occasions. While there were a few break away plays by both teams, the Coyotes were able to dive the ball to the end zone despite the numerous injuries on the field. It is unclear how these player injuries could affect the Coyotes in next week’s game.
Two back to back 15-yard penalties by the Mav’s helped drive the Coyotes closer to the end zone. By the fourth quarter it became clear the Eagle Pass team would not be able to make up the points it needed to beat the Coyotes.
