The 8th grade Colts moved to 2-0 on the young season with their 36-0 blanking of the Mustangs last Thursday in Natalia. Devine led 16-0 after the first quarter of play before cruising to victory from there on out.
Those 16 first quarter points came without the Colt offense even having to take the field as Devine’s defense forced punts on Natalia’s first two possessions.
Punt returner Nate Valle returned the first of his consecutive touchdowns for 60 yards while the next was just a tad shorter from 35 yards out.
Moses Contreras added the first two-point conversion while Jordan Beaver tacked on the second.
Devine’s defense rose to the challenge once again as David Espinosa stepped in front of a Mustang pass attempt to snag an interception.
On the Colts ensuing possession Valle connected with Logan Alexander on an 8-yard touchdown pass. Alexander also…

The 8th Grade Colts A and B teams took wins in their first official action of the season as the A-Team won 12-6 while the B-Team took the 18-0 shutout.
A-Team
According to Coach Michael Sotelo, “The A-team game was to be a ‘David versus Goliath’ match-up as Jourdanton was a team that went undefeated last year as seventh graders.” It was an entertaining game, for sure as it was a nip-and-tuck affair all evening. The Colts found themselves down but definitely not out trailing 6-0, before slaying the Indians with their impressive comeback.
“We were able to get a touchdown from Nate Valle thanks in part to some great blocking by Noah Garcia, Brody Poppe, Troy Guerra, Joe Balderrama, and Jayden Rodriguez that tied the game at six.”
