Lytle played its final game of the 2024 season at home against Jourdanton last Friday. The Pirates could not keep up scoring wise with the district champions as the Indians escaped Walter Joyce Stadium with a 42-20 decision.
The Indians went up 21-0 after the first quarter as they scored the first three touchdowns of the night.
Lytle fought back to make it 28-14 as Angel Delarosa scampered in from 7 yards out, and quarterback Weston Jackson sprinted in from 21 yards.
The Pirates have been known for big comeback wins this year, and some may have believed another upset was in the making.
However, Jourdanton scored 14 of the next 20 points to close out the victory.
Pirate Jair Flores hauled in a 13-yard reception from Jackson in the 4th and final quarter of the 2024 season.
