Meanwhile, Ryan had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They walked away with a 42-32 win over V.R. Eaton on Friday. Given the Raiders' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 30th, while the Eagles are ranked 161st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Ryan's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Simmons and Mun'Terrius Ellis. Ellis didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception. Another thorn in V.R. Eaton's side was Uzziah Warmate, who picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss).
