The Apaches opened their season at Home.
The 7th grade struggled to start with risky penalties costing them a couple of touchdowns. They were able to adjust quickly and come together as an offense. The Apaches led the first half strongly with multiple long-distance run-ins by Kaden Olvera (60 yards)
and Aiden Aragon (40+ yards). The offensive line performed above and beyond allowing the backfield to run without a worry. The defense maintained a shutout the entire game with multiple sacks by Caylon Rice and Royce Guzman. The Special teams came alive to start the second half with Uriel Tarango running back the opening kick for a 60+ yard return. The overall performance went above and beyond for 7th grade on both sides of the ball to complete the game with a 48-0 win.
The 8th grade faced adversity in the first half struggling with penalties early and formations. The defense kept us strong in the first half by
holding Comanche to only 6 points through the first half. The offense was able to come alive late in the first half when Darion Denton broke away on a 30+
yard touchdown run. The first half came to a close with a 6-6 score. At the half, quick adjustments were made and the Apaches were ready to fight on.
The offense came alive late in the 3rd quarter when Francisco Cardenas broke away on an end-around to take the score to 12-6. Darion Denton punched in the 2-point conversion with the front 5 linemen leading the way between the tackles to take the score to 14-6. The defense held strong for the remainder of
the game to keep Comanche out of the endzone and add 2 points when a safety was achieved in the 4th quarter.
