If Rivera was feeling good fresh off their 17-5 takedown of Donna last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Rivera Raiders fell just short of the Porter Cowboys by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday. The Raiders were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Cowboys apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2020.
