PHOTO GALLERY: Beeville opens district play with a bang
In an exciting district opener with a home-field advantage, the Beeville Trojans took on the Floresville Tigers. Amped up with determination following a BYE week, the Trojans recorded a 45-14 victory over the Tigers. Check out a photo gallery from the game below!
RECAP
Leaving the Tigers scoreless through the first half, Beeville put on a show for their homecoming game. Putting up 24 points before halftime, the team showcased speed, agility, and strength against Floresville as the Trojans dominated the first half of play. In the second half, Floresville was able to score twice-- a touchdown in the third with a failed PAT and a touchdown in the fourth with a completed 2-point conversion. Beeville scored three more times (once in the third and twice in the fourth) to seal their victory and open up district play on a high note.
LOOKING AHEAD
With a 5-1 overall record (1-0 in district play), the Trojans have showcased talent on both sides of the ball this year with talented athletes like Elijah Sustaita, brothers Darion and Davyn Perez, Seth Gutierrez, Edward Brako, Ryne Espinoza, Austin Arredondo, Joshua Arroyos, Hunter Lopez, Ryan Foster, and more. As the team carries on through district play, their toughest district opponents will quite possibly be La Vernia (4-2, 0-1) who lost 21-14 last week against Port Lavaca Calhoun and Port Lavaca Calhoun (3-3, 1-0).
Next up, the Trojans face Rockport-Fulton (1-5, 1-0) who has won only one game this season-- a 36-28 back-and-forth district-opening battle against Pleasanton last week. Fans can expect to see the Trojans fight hard on the road against the Pirates on Friday, October 13. Looking to secure another victory, the Trojans are geared up for success in district play. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m.

PHOTO GALLERY: Beeville hangs on to topple No. 10 Somerset
Undefeated Beeville Trojans took on formerly undefeated Somerset in a battle-to-the-finish on Friday night in Somerset. With a never-quit mentality and the ability to put up big stops, Beeville came out on top at the end of the night. Check out the photo gallery from the game below:
RECAP
Coming out rolling, Beeville was ready to get things started from the get-go. Elijah Sustaita scored two touchdowns in the first half against the Bulldogs as the Trojans went into the locker room ahead 14-7. Coming out in the second half saw plenty of frustrating moments for the Beeville fans as the matchup got chippy. With laundry all over the field throughout the entire game, fans on both sides were loud and the atmosphere was tense while the Trojans and Bulldogs battled against the wind and each other.
After the Bulldogs cut the Trojans lead 14-13 in the third quarter, momentum picked up on the field. Trojans and Bulldogs alike began playing with more intensity. With an 80-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown, sophomore Davyn Perez showed athletes and fans why the Trojans hold true to a "play-to-the-whistle" mindset. After debating on the field, a touchdown call stood extending the lead for the Trojans; 21-13. After being held to a field goal attempt, Edward Brako scored to further extend the lead 24-13 for the Trojans. Somerset would go on to score one more time with a completed two-point conversion, but would be unable to continue their attempt at a comeback against an aggressive Beeville defense led by Darion Perez and Seth Gutierrez.
Beeville is set to host state-ranked No. 4 Cuero on Friday, September 22.
