The Eagles self-proclaimed “Land Shark Defense” led by defensive ends Charlie Schuessler, MJ McGehee, Nathan Aguilera, and Eric Lara, and linebackers Joe Samaniego, Saul Peralez, Jacob Salinas, and Uriel Martinez, and defensive tackle Andres Conde, Santana Martinez, and Tommy Cantu, and defensive backs Kristian Barcena, David Lopez, Isaac Caballero, and Armando De Los Santos totally dominated the Cowboys offense throughout the game, keeping them scoreless.
The Eagles self-proclaimed “War Eagle” offense took a 17-0 lead into halftime on scores by running back Isaac Caballero on a one yard touchdown run, a 25 yard touchdown down pass from quarterback Domingo Fuentes to wide receiver Carlos Santos, and a field goal by place kicker Erick Ramirez.
Eagles starting quarterback Allan Rodriguez was injured early in the game and reserve quarterback Domingo Fuentes stepped in to lead the Eagles to victory on 18 pass completions out of 38 attempts for 206 yards and three touchdowns. Fuentes was named the RC Audio Sports Player of the Game for his outstanding performance.
In the second half, the Eagles added 21 points to extend their lead to 38-0 over the Cowboys, including a 43 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Domingo Fuentes to wide receiver Carlos Santos and another touchdown pass from Fuentes to Santos for one yard.
The Eagles defense continued their stellar performance against the Cowboys offense during the second-half, shutting out the Cowboys in the game.
