First & Goal Friday: October 5th
LA FERIA - Rio Hondo rallied in the fourth quarter from a 7-6 deficit to topple La Feria 14-7 in a non-district battle of 4A unbeaten football teams in the First & Goal "Game of the Week." The Bobcats used a late sack to seal the road win. Rio Hondo and Valley View are the only perfect sub 6A teams. The Tigers are also 6-and-0 after blanking Edcouch-Elsa 33-0. The other headline of the night involved McAllen Memorial. The Mustangs let a lead slip away and lost to La Joya 29-28. It's the first district loss of any kind for the Mustangs since 2013.
