Coming off their open week after their sensational and dominating victory over the previous district co-leading San Antonio Harlan Hawks, the C.C. Winn Mavericks varsity football team under the leadership of head football coach Eric Villaseñor will resume their District 14-5A Division I gridiron battles this coming Friday, November 2, 2018 where they will entertain the San Antonio Southwest Legacy Titans in a vital 7:30 PM matchup at the Eagle Pass ISD Student Activity Center Cozel Foster-Veterans Memorial Stadium.
This game has also been designated as C.C. Winn High School’s 2018 Homecoming Game with the coronation of the King and Queen and the Royal Court taking place during the halftime festivities. The visiting Southwest Legacy Titans will venture into this contest sporting and overall season record of 0-9 and a district mark of 0-5 while the home standing Mavericks will enter this game with an overall season record of 5-3 and a district record of 2-2.
The visiting Southwest Legacy Titans mentored by head football coach John Tarvin will come into Friday night’s matchup led by their dual threat quarterback Adrian Rangel #2 who has passed for a total of 879 yards and is also their leading rusher with 471 yards rushing and is a very mobile quarterback who does love to run with the ball. Joining him in the backfield will be Marcus Cantu #28 who is their second leading rusher with 403 yards rushing thus far and is a big physical running back that can explosive if given the opportunity. The lead blocker will be fullback Nathaniel Norton #49 a big blocker who will lead you to the play.
The Titans receiving corps feature main target Pete Lopez #11 a big and tall receiver who must be located at all times, their second most targeted receiver will be wingback Jikavious Gartmond #6 a very quick receiver that loves to run the intermediate routes in their passing game, their third most targeted receiver will be slot back Raymond Wilcox #18 who also favors the intermediate pass routes and the their least targeted receiver will be Jake Casares #24. Overall the Titans are averaging 263 yards offensively per game through 9 games played. They are a 60% run and 40% pass type of offense
The Southwest Legacy Titans offensive line will be comprised by right tackle Tavius Gonzalez #40, right guard Xzavier Morales $61, center Daniel Ornelas # 64 their best offensive lineman, Left Guard Julian Armendariz #77, left tackle Isaiah Ibarra #67 and tight end Ian Castro #85.
The home standing Mavericks will counter with their dual threat offensive scheme featuring their patented running game spearheaded by their standout signal caller Ethan Johnston the team’s leading rusher with 530 yards and 6 rushing touchdowns. Joining him in the backfield will be the tough running back Fernando Zapata who just keeps getting better every single game and has rushed for 375 yards with 3 touchdowns as well as the shifty running back Marc Cardenas. The Mavericks ever improving passing game features a set of sure handed receiving corps with the likes of Jared Roiz, Jose Blanco, Ernesto Vasquez and Erik Villarreal who each have the ability to haul in the airmail and take it to pay dirt from anywhere out on the field. The Mavericks all-important offensive line will need to dominate the trench battles against the Southwest Legacy defensive line in order to spring the running backs loose into the secondary and provide the blocking on passing downs.
The Mavericks stout, aggressive, hard hitting and stingy defensive unit who held the San Antonio Harlan Hawks to a measly 6 total yards rushing in their previous game will certainly be up to the challenge to battle against the Southwest Legacy Titans featuring their “Fearsome Foursome” defensive line the likes of standout Ricardo Morales, Alexis Ontiveros, Alejandro Ontiveros, and Jose Hinojosa.
The Mavericks “Tenacious Trio” of fast, quick pursuing and bone rattling linebacker corps of Patricio Hernandez, Alex Chris Garcia and Miguel De Los Santos are ready and eager to inflict their patented hard tacking skills against the Titans. The swarming Mavericks’ defensive secondary the likes of Hector Nunez, Gilberto Vasquez, German Velasquez and Axel Rodriguez are geared to cover the Titans receivers as well as provide run support and look to the challenge of forcing a few turnovers in this game. The Mavericks secondary will greatly benefit of returning the services of the veteran and highly experience Domingo Duran who has been out a few games nursing an undisclosed injury.
The mighty C.C. Winn Mavericks defense who are not only one of the premier defensive units in District 14-5A Division I but also throughout South Texas as well as the entire Region IV Class 5A have only allowed a total of 710 yards rushing in 8 games for an average of 88.7 yards per game and have allowed a total of 667 yards passing for an average of 83.3 yards per game.
