Game Night South Texas: Carroll and Calallen face off for first time since 2017

The Calallen Wildcats enter our week 4 Game Night South Texas matchup with a 3-0 record. They’ll be hosting the Carroll Tigers who are looking for their first win of the season. This matchup has not been played since 2017.

“Have faith in what we’re doing. I know we’re 0-3 right now, but we’re probably as good an 0-3 team in the state. Man we’ve been battle tested.”

Every week Carroll gets better. Week 1 was a 48-28 loss to Alice. Week 2, The Tigers fell 35-17. Then week 3 they lost 29-28 in an upset to St. Joseph Academy, a team that just beat Brownsville Veterans Memorial.

“Feel real confident in our run game,” Pedro Garcia, Carroll junior center, said. “We have a lot of returners on the o-line. Our running back is a returner. We have a backup as a returner. We’re real new though on the pass game. New quarterbacks and new receivers. Just feel real confident though in my o-line.”

Now the Tigers’ balanced offense will face undefeated Calallen. The Wildcats’ offense, under first-year head coach Charlie Reeve, has allowed their two running backs to open up the passing game.
