The 7th grade A-team Colts finished off their season of perfection with a dominating 38-14 thrashing of Comfort last week. Devine kept its record 8-0 spotless and now look to continue that level of play once their 8th grade campaign begins next August.
Kyle Johnson got things going early for the Colts as he scored on a 20 yard run in the first quarter. Adrian Zamora ran in the two-pointer for an 8-0 lead.
Comfort tied it at 8 on their next drive, but the Colts offense got back to work soon thereafter as Chaz Dominguez found paydirt with a 54-yard scamper. Nathaniel Rodriguez converted the two-pointer this time to put Devine back in front at 16-8.

A long season consisting of two-a-days, scrimmages, tournaments, and District 27-4A battles all comes to a head as Devine’s UIL postseason run begins with their Bi-District matchup against the Cuero Lady Gobblers on October 30 at 6pm. The site of the first round game is Seguin High School.
Devine finished its regular season with a 23-17 mark overall (not including their October 28 warm-up game against Randolph) and a 9-3 27-4A record.
Consecutive victories versus Carrizo Springs, Pleasanton, Somerset, and Pearsall has the Arabians peaking at the right time of the year to hopefully make a serious run to the Regional Tournament.
Cuero enters their own playoff run after finishing 21-22 overall, which includes their 5-5 District 28 record. The Lady Gobblers finished third in league standings.
La Vernia took the 28-4A championship with a spotless 10-0 record, followed by Navarro who went 8-2. Gonzales was the fourth place team and qualified for the postseason with their 4-6 finish.
