Edcouch-Elsa stays undefeated at Benny Layton stadium
By Raul Garcia Jr.
The Edcouch-Elsa football program has a long tradition of wining championships as they dominated the last decade defending their district title from 2003-2008 and giving them a total of 46 district titles all time.
But it is their close community ties as a team and coaching leadership that has helped La Maquina Amarilla excel.
Coach Joe Solis leaves nothing on the field as he enters his ninth season.
Since then he and his team has played together, lost together and eat together literally.
A devout Christian; you will never see Solis or his team miss a game day breakfast or mass hosted by the ladies of the Catholic Church in Elsa.
The team has been rolling past opponents and are the clear favorite to win the 32-4A District Title.
During their contest with Rio Hondo the Jackets were able to control the game and even get away with trick plays. The entire team had their game face and were having fun as they cruised their way to a 34-13 win.
The Yellowjackets remained their stadium to Benny Layton, Sr. Memorial Stadium and have gone undefeated there this season. They could very well go undefeated at home unless they are upset before hosting Mission Veterans on Nov. 4.
They are coming off a 8-4 overall season record in 2010 winning their last four games of 2010 and making a playoff appearance. They return this year with 26 letterman nine starters.
