The high-flying Eagle Pass Eagles mentored by head football coach Tom Gonzalez ventured into Laredo, Texas on Thursday, October 25, 2018 for a 7:00 PM District 29-6A football marquee matchup against the current district co-leading Laredo Alexander Bulldogs at the Laredo United ISD Bill Johnson Student Activity Center.

This highly anticipated matchup as usual was expected to be quite a thriller where field possession and turnovers more than likely playing a major factor in determining the final outcome of this contest. The visiting Eagle Pass Eagles supported by their Loyal Legion of fans entered into this contest sporting an overall season record of 7-1 and a district mark of 3-1 while the home standing Laredo Alexander Bulldogs came in with an overall season record of 6-1 and a district mark of 4-0. With the score tied at 7 at the end of regulation time the game headed to overtime where the Bulldogs tallied a touchdown.

The Eagles countered with what seemed like a potential game tying touchdown but disaster struck as the Eagles fumbled right before crossing the goal line with Laredo Alexander recovering the errant pigskin to come away with the 14 to 7 victory over the Eagle Pass Eagles.
