The Eagle Pass Eagles staged an incredible comeback victory in the second half after trailing 19-6 at halftime to outlast the San Marcos Rattlers 39-31 on the road on Friday, September 23, 2022 in San Marcos, Texas to earn a hard fought victory that is certain to be in the annals of Eagles football history for centuries as one of the greatest games of all time.
The Eagles “Land Shark” Defense stuffed the oversized Rattlers offensive linemen in the second half limiting the potent Rattler offense to only two scores and intercepted two key passes and sacked the Rattler quarterback late in the fourth quarter to set up the Eagles “War Cry” offense with excellent field position to rally for two back to back rushing touchdowns on the legs of standout quarterback Isaac Stanwick to seal the historic comeback victory, sending the loyal Eagle Nation aficionados in attendance jumping in jubilation for the incredulous win at the Rattlers Homecoming.
Eagles quarterback Isaac Stanwick rushed for five touchdowns and passed for another score to wide receiver Jose “Pepe” Hernández who made an acrobatic catch deep in the right corner of the Rattlers end zone for the six points.
The incredulous comeback victory was as a result of a total team effort and an unparalleled intestinal fortitude to fight until the end of the game ending buzzer.
Congratulations to the Eagles on their courageous battle culminating on the classic victory, improving to 5-0 in the season.
