The Eagle Pass High School Eagles varsity football team will face the San Antonio Sotomayor High School Wildcats in the opening round of the Class 6A Division II state playoffs on Thursday, November 12, at 7 p.m. at Gustafson Stadium in San Antonio.

The bi-district matchup will give the Eagles an opportunity to extend their season after finishing the regular season with three consecutive victories.

Eagle Pass defeated the Del Rio Rams 49–21 on Friday, November 6, closing the regular season with a 5–5 overall record and a 4–3 mark in District 30-6A. The Eagles finished fourth in the district to earn a postseason berth.

The Eagles turned their season around after winning two of their first seven games. Eagle Pass edged Laredo United South 31–30 on October 23, then defeated Southwest Legacy 34–28 on October 30 before securing the victory over Del Rio.

The wins over United South and Southwest Legacy proved valuable in the district race, helping Eagle Pass remain among the four teams advancing to postseason competition. Over their final three regular-season games, the Eagles scored 114 points while allowing 79.

Sotomayor will enter the matchup with a 7–3 overall record and a 6–2 district record after finishing third in District 29-6A. The Wildcats defeated O’Connor 29–22 in their regular-season finale.

The Eagles will look to carry their late-season momentum into Thursday’s contest, with the winner claiming the bi-district championship and advancing to the area round of the Class 6A Division II playoffs.
