After an exciting week last week followed up with a long weekend, the Beeville Trojans are ready to hit the ground running in an unusual Thursday Night Lights matchup on the road against Robstown this week. VYPE dives into what fans can expect headed into week three with both of these squads:
Beeville Trojans (2-0)
The Beeville Trojans are having a show-stopping season already. First, the team posted an incredible 23-16 statement victory over rival Sinton as their season-opening game. Then last week, the Trojans fended off a fourth-quarter comeback by Orange Grove to secure a 41-33 victory in front of a home crowd. As the team gears up for another week on the gridiron, fans should be watching Seth Gutierrez, Davyn Perez, Ryne Espinoza, Elijah Sustaita, and more.
In last week's victory, Gutierrez opened up the Trojans' scoring early in the game with a 100-yard pick six to set the tone right out of the gate. Later in the game, Perez picked up major yards as he broke free and ran for a 93-yard touchdown; Perez, a sophomore, scored three touchdowns for the Trojans against Orange Grove. Gutierrez, Perez, Espinoza, and Beau Auzston all scored for Beeville against Orange Grove and will look towards Thursday night for a big game.
Robstown Cottonpickers (0-2)
Starting their season off a bit rocky, Robstown has already posted two losses; one against Corpus Christi King (21-18) and last week's hard-fought loss against San Antonio Young Man's Leadership Academy (34-33). Attempting to turn their season around, the Cottonpickers are hosting Beeville and gearing up for the game by using each moment as a learning moment to grow from.
Derek Silva, Ryan Flores-Zapata, David Aldaco, Edward Diaz, Elijah Lamkin, Lincoln Lara, and others are going to do whatever it takes to score early against Beeville on Thursday night.
What To Expect
Big offensive plays can be expected from the Beeville Trojans fans. This team has a special group of sophomores who know what needs to be done and when it needs to be done in order to secure important victories for the team. Led by head coach Chris Soza, Eric Soza, Jiseoh Ganceres, and others, the Trojans are a finely tuned machine looking to add to their win record thsi season.
Under head coach Gage Perry, Cody Barker, Deandre Holmes, Kyle Bohanon, and others, Robstown is looking for redemption this week and can be expected to put the pedal to the metal as they attempt an underdog victory.
