Football Recap: Carrizo Springs Takes a Loss

Carrizo Springs had lost four straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Friday they dropped down to 1-4 to make it five. They fell 27-22 to the Crystal City Javelinas. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Wildcats of the 23-20 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in September of 2024.

As for Crystal City, the win keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they've averaged 49.6 points this season.

Adrian Zavala was his usual excellent self, rushing for 120 yards and two scores. Zavala is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 120 every time he's taken the field this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Carrizo Springs will challenge Robstown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Cottonpickers' defense has only allowed 8.6 points per game this season, so the Wildcats' offense will have their work cut out for them. As for Crystal City, after each having a week off, they and Jourdanton will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field against one another at 7:00 p.m. on October 10. The contest will give the Javelinas their first taste of in-conference action this season.
