The mighty Eagle Pass High School Eagles battle District 29-6A nemesis Laredo LBJ High School Wolves on Thursday, September 28, 2017, at 7 P.M. at the Laredo United Independent School District Student Activity Complex in Laredo, Texas in a key district football game, while the thundering Eagle Pass C. C. Winn High School Mavericks face the San Antonio Central Catholic Preparatory Buttons on Friday, September 29, 2017, at 7:30 P.M. at San Antonio Central Catholic Football Stadium in a non-district football game.

The Eagles will seek to improve to 2-0 in District 29-6A with a win over the pesky Laredo LBJ Wolves in Laredo, Texas.  The Eagles are coming off an impressive win over the Laredo Alexander High School Bulldogs 31-20 last week in their first District 29-6A football matchup to start 1-0 in district standings, improving to 3-1 overall in the season.  The Laredo LBJ Wolves will seek to earn their first District 29-6A win over the Eagles on Thursday, September 28th.

The Mavericks are a young team and gaining valuable experience every week.  The Mavericks will seek to rebound with a win over the always tough San Antonio Central Catholic Buttons on Friday, September 29th, after suffering a tough loss to the Mission High School Eagles last week in a non-district contest.  The Mavericks are 1-3 overall in the season and start District 29-5A play until October 12th against San Antonio McCollum High School Cowboys.  The Central Catholic Buttons will seek to avenge last year’s loss to the Mavericks on Friday, September 29th, at their home field.

Both the Eagles and Mavericks are on the road this week, leaving Eagle Pass football aficionados without a home game to go watch.  Local football aficionados will have to travel to support the Eagles and Mavericks and cheer them on to victory.
