The Cuero Gobblers pushed #4 Sinton to the brink of defeat, but fell short in their upset bid against the unbeaten Pirates. The final score was 23-18.
“I think we played good enough to win the game if one or two things go our way. That pass interference was big in the third quarter. That essentially gives them a first down deep in our territory and extends their drive to an eventual score. Turnover on downs there and we’re in business with our offense on the field. I feel like we will see them again in the Regional Finals with a different outcome,” said O-Line Coach Arroyo.
It was a battle of field possession early. Davyon Varela sprang a 40 yard run before being pushed out of bounds deep in Sinton territory. The drive would stall, forcing the Gobblers to punt.
