The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. This Friday Reagan County takes on Eastland in the first playoff game of the year.
Victory was within reach two weeks ago, but Reagan County ultimately lost 26 - 20 to Alpine. The team got a solid performance out of senior Alex Chavez (he earned two touchdowns and 120 yards rushing the ball); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. Chavez's longest touchdown was a 39-yard snag in the third quarter. This marked the 4th consecutive game in which Chavez had 100+ rushing yards.
As for Eastland, last game was the first rocky defensive outing for it this year. It had a lot of difficulties with Cisco last game and took a hard 35 - 7 hit. The game was close at halftime with a score of 14 - 7, but Eastland simply couldn't keep up in the second half.
After their losses, Reagan County dropped to 5-5 and Eastland dropped to 7-3. We'll see which team manages to turn its luck around when they battle it out this week.
