Dominant defense and a strong finishing kick boosted the Dos Pueblos High football team to a 17-7 victory over rival San Marcos on Friday night at Warkentin Stadium.
San Marcos came out firing on its first drive of the game and quickly scored a touchdown on a play-action fade from Josh Engel to Jackson Murrillo with 10:15 remaining in the first quarter. From that point on Dos Pueblos controlled the action as the Chargers scored the final 17 points of the game.
“It feels like we’re starting to gel and we’re starting to come together,” said Dos Pueblos coach A.J. Pateras. “For the last two weeks we’ve had kids out so what we think of as our first group has been a variety of different kids and I think that says about the team.”
