 Porter came out on top in a nail-biter against Weslaco East when the teams last played  back in March of 2024, sneaking past  1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cowboys since the  squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
