Suggested Video

The Mission Veterans Memorial Patriots are taking a road trip to take on the Edcouch-Elsa Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mission Veterans Memorial can't be to happy about their upcoming road contest considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They fell just short of Mission by a score of 23-21.

Cameron Sarinana put forth a good effort for the losing side as he threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns. Jordan Rodriguez was Sarinana's top target, picking up 91 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Edcouch-Elsa beat Donna 17-7 on Friday.

Elijah Trevino looked great while leading his team to the win, rushing for 88 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries.

Mission Veterans Memorial didn't have too much breathing room in their match against Edcouch-Elsa when the teams last played back in September of 2021, but they still walked away with a 27-21 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Edcouch-Elsa's Joshua Gomez, who rushed for 147 yards on only 14 carries. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Mission Veterans Memorial to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
