RE-PETE

GOW goes to Rio Hondo 24-10

With 1 minute left in the game Rio Hondo leads 24-10 and has the ball.

Hidalgo kicker Jesus Mireles connected on a 29-yard FG to cut the Bobcats lead to 24-10 with 5:43 left in the game.

Hidalgo has no more timeouts.

Both teams combined for nine penalties for 80 yards. A RH player was ejected and the fans are really quiet.

I just found out that because the home bleachers are full, some Bobcats fans are sitting on the visiting side. Very poor showing by Pirates fans.

I would say the quiet Bobcats fan are worse but at least they shosed up.

Bobcats lead 24-7 after with three quarters in the book.

Just got a message from Alex Jones our photographer. It appears in one of my blogs I said there was 5:03 left in the game. There is actually 1:35 left in the third quarter.

Good to see Alex has my back.

My bad.

A few more Pirates fans have showed up but still pretty empty. Didn’t want to make the long drive I guess. Kinda sad.

For a packed house on the Bobcats side, they are very quiet.

 This post was for OG.

Hidalgo came out looking like the better team but an intercpetion at Hidalgo’s 30 turned the tide.

 Rio Hondo would drive the ball 29 yards and scored on a 6-yard run by Jacob Martinez, who now has three TDs in the game. Rio Hondo leads 24-7 with 5:07 left in the game. 

After scoring, the Pirates held the Bobcats to three and out. Pirates take over on their own 33.

The Pirates opened the second half with a bang. QB Oscar Perez connected with RG Angel Nava for a 54 yard connection that brought the Pirates to the RH 9.

RB Mark Puente later scored on a 3-yard run to cut the lead to 17-7 with 10:38 left in the game.

Pirates kicker had to kick the ball four times. Penalties and jawing between the teams resulted in four penalties during the PAT.

 The teams got into a shoving match and Bobcats DB J.D. Martinez was ejected.

 Bobcats 17, Pirates 0 at halftime

 After a slow start, the Bobacts began to control the clock and rack up the yardage.

They have 199 yards of total offense. RH is led by RB Jacob Martinez, who has 83 yards on 10 carries and two TDs.

Shane Eizember has 6 catches for 59 yards. QB Joseph Vela has chipped in with 42 yards rushing.

Defensively, the Bobacts have done a good job of containing Pirates QB Oscar Perez, who has only 11 yards rushing and has completed only 2 pass attempts in 10 tries.

Hidalgo has only 56 yards of total offense.

Hidalgo gets the ball back when play resumes.
