The Eagle Pass High School Eagles and C.C. Winn High School Mavericks varsity football teams concluded their 2026 seasons this past week after falling in the opening bi-district round of the University Interscholastic League state playoffs.

The Eagles lost 25–0 to the San Antonio Sotomayor Wildcats on Thursday, November 12, 2026 while the Mavericks fell 72–0 to the Boerne Champion Chargers on Friday, November 13. The losses ended postseason appearances for both Eagle Pass Independent School District programs.

The Eagles finished with a 5–6 overall season record following its Class 6A Division II bi-district matchup with San Antonio Sotomayor Wildcats at Gustafson Stadium in San Antonio. The Eagles entered the playoffs with a 5–5 regular-season record and a 4–3 district mark. Sotomayor advanced with an 8–3 record.

The Eagles had closed the regular season with three consecutive victories, defeating Laredo United South 31–30, Southwest Legacy 34–28 and Del Rio 49–21. That late-season stretch carried Eagle Pass into the postseason, but the Eagles were unable to score against Sotomayor in the elimination game.

For the C.C. Winn Mavericks, Friday’s Class 5A Division I bi-district game against Boerne Champion Chargers at Boerne ISD Stadium ended a season in which the Mavericks earned four district victories to reach the playoffs. Winn finished with a 4–7 overall record after entering the postseason at 4–6. Boerne Champion improved to 10–1 with the victory.

The Mavericks completed district competition with a 4–3 record. Their district victories included a 48–40 win over Laredo Martin, a 27–7 victory over San Antonio Jay, a 35–28 win against South San Antonio and a 30–6 victory over Laredo Nixon.

Winn’s victories over Jay, South San Antonio and Nixon came consecutively before a 22–10 loss to Southside in the November 6 regular-season finale. That three-game winning streak helped the Mavericks secure their postseason berth and extend their season into November.

Although neither local team advanced to the area round, both earned the opportunity to represent their schools and community in the state playoffs. Their first-round defeats brought the 2026 varsity football season to a close for both EPISD high schools.
