There are certain moments in sports where you just can’t help but get chills. That was the case Friday night as I watched the Uvalde High School football team pull off a comeback in its home opener.
With 36 seconds left, Uvalde’s offense tore through CC Winn High School’s defense on a 51-yard run.
In the next game, Uvalde took the lead with a one-handed save.
The crowd erupted into a frenzy as Uvalde took a 34-28 lead.
With just 12 seconds left on the clock, Uvalde’s special teams and defense did what needed to be done to preserve the lead.
Last year, Uvalde’s football team had a 2-8 record. This season has a very different start.
Uvalde is currently 2-0 this season, with wins over Carrizo Springs and CC Winn High School.
After the season opener, Eluterio Rendon had a beautiful message about how the Uvalde community inspires the team.
“It was just a sign that the 21 angels are looking at this community and saying that they are here, that they are still present and that they will remain present. So it was a beautiful, pretty special moment.” Rendon said, via ABC.
