The Mathis Pirates (4-3,1-3) picked up a crucial district win at home vs. West Oso (0-7, 0-4) in KRIS 6 News’ Game Night South Texas.
The 65-0 victory is the first for Mathis in District 15 of 3A-DI.
It was mostly positive for Mathis from the start and all bad news for the Bears.
After a West Oso punt, Mathis drove down for their first score. It took a fourth down and seven pick up by Jody Rios to keep the drive alive. Abram Cuellar finished off the drive with a 14 yard dash. He had three touchdowns on the night.
If West Oso showed any positivity it came from their two quarterbacks, Ryan Guerrero and Julio Acosta. They flashed their athleticism all night trying to dodge a disruptive Mathis defensive line.
On the Bears second drive, Guerrero scrambled in circles for seven or eight seconds before getting a throw off towards his sideline. It was picked out of the air by Pirates’ Duke Bernal.
That set up the freshman quarterback to deliver for the Pirates. From 15 yards out, Rojelio Montemayor followed blockers before bulldozing over two defenders to get to the end zone. Mathis converted for two-points and made it 15-0.
