Both David Kypuros and Moises Rocha were nominated by Eagle Pass Sports Central’s very own sports editor Conrado Perez, Jr.
During this past season the highly talented Moises Rocha and David Kypuros were two of the top key components of the Eagles standout and famed “Land Sharks” hard hitting, swarming and aggressive defense who were the stingiest defense in District 29-6A and did not allow a single point scored against them during their five home games.
Stellar defensive end Moises Rocha #44 had a truly banner year being selected as District 29-6A’s Most Outstanding Defensive End and gave the opposing teams offensive coordinators long sleepless nights trying to devise a way to try and stop his relentless pass rushing skills as well as preventing his bone rattling tackles. Moises Rocha registered a total of 102 tackles with 34 tackles for a loss recorded a whopping 14.5 QB Sacks had 4 caused fumbles with 2 fumble recoveries had 2 interceptions with 4 blocked passes blocked 1 punt dished out 15 Big Hits and had 1 defensive touchdown.

David Kypuros culminated his stellar high school football career by being selected the 2018 Come & Take It Apparel Poll’s South Texas/Rio Grande Valley’s Defensive Player of the Year recipient beating out 2 other defensive players from around South Texas as well as the Rio Grande and Texas Coastal area garnering a whopping total of 91, 845 votes.
