The Eagle Pass High School Eagles varsity football team ended its season Thursday, November 12, 2026, falling 25–0 to the San Antonio Sotomayor Wildcats in the Class 6A Division II bi-district playoffs at Gustafson Stadium in San Antonio, Texas.

The Eagles finished the 2026 season with a 5–6 overall record. Sotomayor improved to 8–3 and advanced to the area round, capturing the bi-district championship.

The shutout brought an end to a late-season surge that helped Eagle Pass secure a postseason berth. The Eagles entered Thursday’s matchup riding three consecutive victories after closing the regular season with a 5–5 record and a 4–3 mark in District 30-6A.

Eagle Pass earned its playoff opportunity with consecutive victories over Laredo United South, Southwest Legacy and Del Rio. The Eagles edged United South 31–30, defeated Southwest Legacy 34–28 and closed the regular season with a 49–21 victory over the Rams.

That stretch produced 114 points and helped Eagle Pass finish fourth in the district. Against Sotomayor, however, the Eagles were unable to put points on the scoreboard.

Thursday’s loss closed a season in which Eagle Pass recovered from a difficult start to reach the state playoffs, giving its seniors one final postseason appearance in an Eagles uniform.
