The mighty Eagle Pass High School Eagles under Head Coach Tom Gonzalez open District 29-6A play against the Laredo Alexander High School Bulldogs this Thursday, September 15, 2016, at 7 P.M. at the Laredo United Independent School District Student Activity Complex Football Stadium in Laredo, Texas.

Fresh from their impressive victory over cross-town rival, C. C. Winn High School Mavericks, in the 11th Annual City Football Championship by the score of 21-12 this past Friday, September 9, 2016, the Eagles seek to contend for one of the four state playoff berths in the highly competitive District 29-6A by earning a victory against the always dangerous and pass happy Laredo Alexander Bulldogs on Thursday, September 15th, in Laredo.

The high flying Eagles have learned valuable lessons on offense and defense from their first three season games, 2-1, particularly from their past two victories over Laredo Cigarroa 49-0 and C. C. Winn Mavericks 21-12.  The Eagles potent offense led by standout quarterback Ricky Medina and running back Mark Venegas has begun to click with a combined ground game and passing game which has averaged 30.33 points per game in the first three games of the season under the coordination of Offensive Coordinator Javier Cardenas and staff.  The Eagles wrecking crew defense led by standout linebacker David Ramos and defensive back Alan Morales has played very well and has limited opponents to only 11.33 points per game in the first three games of the season led by Defensive Coordinator Roger Olivas and staff.

Although the Laredo Alexander Bulldogs enter the District 29-6A opener with a disappointing 0-3 season record, Head Coach Joel Lopez will have his Bulldogs ready and primed to tackling the visiting Eagles on Thursday, September 15th.  The Bulldogs fell last week to the perennially tough Cibolo-Schertz (San Antonio) Clemens Buffaloes 40-0.  The Bulldogs pass-oriented offense will challenge the Eagles wrecking crew defense, particularly the secondary.

All loyal Eagle Nation football aficionados are invited to support the Eagles and travel to Laredo this Thursday, September 15th, to cheer the mighty Eagles to victory in their District 29-6A opening game.  This game should be a high scoring affair and provide many thrilling and memorable moments for Eagle football fans.  Go Eagles!
