The C.C. Winn Mavericks varsity boys basketball team mentored by head coach JT Sanchez and assistant coaches Juan Antonio Tovar and Eric Ramos entertained their cross town rivals the Eagle Pass Eagles under the guidance of head coach Ernesto Reyes and assistant coaches Julian Caballero, Danny Flores and David Even in a 7:30 PM non-district hoops matchup in front of a jammed packed house at the C.C. Winn High School gymnasium with the famed Mavericks Nation and the Loyal Legion of Eagles followers in attendance.

This game between the two local high school varsity boys’ hoops squads proved to be quite a thriller as both teams fought their hearts out providing plenty of thrills and highlights for those in attendance as they battled back and forth with relentless offensive and defensive attacks against each other from the opening tipoff til the final buzzer.

The visiting Eagle Pass Eagles got off ta red hot start with David Moreno, Bryan Esquivel and Carlos De Luna knocking down their respective shots and Alex Alonso dishing otff the assists by spreading the wealth amongst his teammates to take an early 17 to 9 over the Mavericks at the end of the opening period.

The home standing Mavericks countered back in the second quarter by getting scoring production from Juan Castilla, Eddie Aranda and Karlos Martinez to make a game of this contest as the Mavericks narrowed their deficit to only six points (30 to 24) at the halftime break,

The second half of this contest had the atmosphere of a post season playoff berth as both teams pick to the tempo to another notch battling at both ends of the court by trading baskets and contesting for board dominance with an aggressive and suffocating defensive pressure scheme.  The Eagles managed to maintain their six point lead heading to the fourth and final period of this game.

In the fourth period the Eagles took advantage of Mavericks turnovers plus really helped themselves by knocking down the free throws from the charity stripe to eventually come away with the hard fought 61 to 51 victory over the gallant C.C. Winn Mavericks.  David Moreno took game high scoring honors for the victorious Eagles with 25 points while Juan Castilla led all Mavericks scorers with 16 points.

Eagle Pass Sports Central congratulates the Eagle Pass Eagles on their hard fought victory and commends the effort put forth by the C.C. Winn Mavericks in this well played contest by the two local high school basketball teams.
