The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Weslaco will look to defend their home turf on Friday against Harlingen at 7:30 PM. The two teams have set a high bar for this contest after stand-out offensive performances in their previous contests.
Last week, Weslaco stacked a sixth blowout onto their ever-increasing hoard. They steamrollered Edinburg North 57-6. Weslaco's success was spearheaded by the efforts of sophomore Jesse Hernandez, who rushed for 115 yards and 1 touchdown on 9 carries, and junior Jacob Cavazos, who picked up 50 yards on the ground on 6 carries and accumulated 98 passing yards. Junior Jacob Cavazos has been one of their standout athletes in their past ten games.
Meanwhile, Harlingen might be getting used to good results now that the team has three wins in a row. They blew past Rivera 38-7. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 28-7.
Their wins bumped Harlingen to 5-4 and Weslaco to 9-1. Given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, it will be interesting to see how far up these teams can run up the score.
