Mid-Valley football, week 1 games reviewed: Mercedes, Weslaco East & La Villa
By Raul Garcia Jr.
The Mercedes Tigers took a big hit at home as the La Feria Lions took control of the game early with two quick scores. The Tigers rallied with a touchdown pass in the first quarter but proved to be no match for the Lions losing 42-20. The Tigers move to 0-2 in non district play as they move into district play as the dark horse in 32-4A and facing Roma, East, Mission and Edcouch in September.
On the other side of the levee Weslaco East’s fast offense proved to be to slow for the San Benito Greyhounds as they clawed their away to a 28-16 loss.
After trailing most of the game the La Villa Cardinals came to life in the fourth quarter pushing themselves closer to a Sugar Bowl XXIV win.
La Villa scored two touchdowns in easy fashion as the fourth quarter was winding down.
After a Ricky Cantu TD and A.J. Garza two point conversion La Villa came within four (24-20) with two minutes left in regulation.
Next they dissected the Warrior offense and went to work only to meltdown twenty yards from a winning score.
