Devine’s middle school Colts took on the Navarro Panthers last Thursday with the Gold coming away with an 8-6 victory. The Maroon team fought hard until the final horn but their comeback bid fell short 24-14.
“The Gold group continues to play well together,” said Coach Zac Valenzuela after his squad ran their record to a perfect 3-0.
Valenzuela credited the win to “solid run contributions from Jack Wallace and David Espinosa.” Defensively, Aaron Frazier led the way with 3 tackles followed by Tommy Camarillo.
The Maroon team dug a hole too big to climb out of as they fell behind 24-0 midway through. Devine did not hang their heads though and came out swinging, and scoring, in the second half as they closed the gap to 24-14.
Unfortunately, the Colts could get no closer as they lost by that final score.
Jordan Beaver led the Maroon with 8 carries for 45 yards. He scored one touchdown and added a two-point conversion. Logan Alexander was next with 7 rushes for 55 yards and a score. Moses Contrares had one attempt for 5 yards.
Quarterback Nate Valle hit on 3 of four attempts with two completions going to Alexander for a total of 25 yards while the other went to Kash Esparza for a big 35-yard gain.
Defensively, Contreras led with four tackles. Valle added three tackles and had an interception while Esparza added a solo tackle and recovered a fumble.
Brody Poppe, Troy Guerra, Eli San Miguel, and Alexander each had two tackles while single tackles were made by Beaver, Espinosa, Jayden Rodriguez, Noah Garcia, and Israel Casas, Jr.

BROOM-BROOM!
WARHORSE & COLT FOOTBALL SWEEPS ALL 4 DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Warhorse Nation got to get their Halloween brooms out early last Thursday and Friday as all four Devine football teams captured not only a district championship, but UNDEFEATED DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS as well with each of their victories this past week.
The 7th grade Colts got the first one with their win over Pearsall, while the 8th grade Colts wrapped up DC #2 a short while later with their 14-8 win.
The JV destroyed Pearsall 47-6 to get #3, while everyone patiently waited for the outcome of the varsity’s district championship deciding game Friday night in Pearsall.
Devine defeated the Mavericks 29-22 to give Warhorse Nation its fourth championship in a matter of 26 hours.
Not only did Devine sweep their District 14-4A competition, they did not drop a single ball game at any level as the varsity finished 4-0, while the JV, 7th grade, and 8th grade all finished league action with a spotless 3-0 record.
“Man what a great season for our football program!” said an understandably excited Head Coach Paul Gomez. “Our 7th grade is undefeated so far with an 8-0 record and were District Champs. Our 8th grade is 7-1 and District Champs, our JV went 9-1 and were District Champs as well, and finally our Varsity goes 9-1 for the year with a District Championship Trophy and an opportunity to advance in the playoffs! This is just an awesome achievement for the program. A clean sweep in all levels in the district! I’m so proud of all of our players from 7th grade all the way up to our varsity! What a great accomplishment! Now it’s playoff time for our varsity and our 7th and 8th grade teams have one more game vs Comfort. So, football season is still alive and exciting in Devine, Texas!”
Congratulations to all 174 Warhorse and Colt players and coaches on each of your District Championships!
