The Lytle Pirates were able to shoot down the Kennedy Rockets at Veterans Stadium last Friday night to string together their second straight victory to begin the season. Not only did this account for the second win, but it also surpassed last year’s win total which has Coach Mike Trevino, the Pirates and the Lytle faithful excited entering week three vs. West Campus.

The Natalia Mustangs dropped their second game of the season last Friday at home vs. a talented Marion Bulldog squad. Natalia showed improvements on both sides of the ball, but unfortunately their offense sputtered out and was unable to produce enough to be successful in a 28-6 loss. Natalia turns their attention to their neighbors, as Devine comes to town for a week 3 battle Friday Night at home.
