Sinton stays perfect in non-district play, topping Calallen in Game of the Week

Sinton (6-0) overcame a sluggish first half at Pirate Stadium to defeat Calallen 27-13 in KRIS 6 News Game of the Week.

Sinton made history becoming the first team to win the Game of the Week Golden Trophy four straight weeks.

It was a rough start for the Pirates after Mykah Green fumbled the ball on the opening drive. Fortunate for them the defense held up and forced a punt by the Wildcats.

Calallen (4-2) took advantage of the field position game and would try for a field goal their next posession. However the kick missed to the right.

It was a wet first quarter with rain periodically falling. It may have played a factor in a few miscues snapping the ball for both sides.

Sinton’s next drive put them on the board. Derek Garcia ripped off a big run to get the Pirates near midfield. Then, It took a clutch catch by Jacoby James from Tristan Handson to pick up a fourth down and three to go.

That allowed one of the best quarterback-wide receiver combos in the Coastal Bend to connect for a 40 yard touchdown pass. James scores the same night he was crowned Homecoming King.
