Syndicated on Nov-6-2009. Courtesy of RGVSports.com
DONNA — Ivan Estrada kept shaking his head.
“I can’t believe it,” Donna’s junior defensive back said after his team’s stunning 24-21 come-from-behind win Friday night during The Monitor’s Game of the Week at Bennie La Prade Stadium.
Estrada picked off Memorial quarterback Matthew Kaufmann, who threw an uncharacteristic four interceptions in the game, with 55 seconds left, setting up a game-winning 27-yard field goal as the clock expired by Fernando Sanchez.

Memorial, Donna clash in key game for playoff race
Syndicated on Nov-5-2009. Courtesy of RGVSports.comDONNA — As stunning as it is that McAllen Memorial is in this predicament, there is no sense to downplay the magnitude of the game for the Mustangs.
The Mustangs not only need to win, they need to win by 10 over Donna at 7:30 tonight at Bennie La Prade Stadium in The Monitor’s Game of the Week or they’ll be turning in their pads come Monday morning.

Yanez leads viable Donna passing attack
Syndicated on Nov-4-2009. Courtesy of RGVSports.com
DONNA — It is not often that this happens at Donna but a Redskins quarterback has more than 1,000 yards passing before any of the team’s ball carriers have reached that number on the ground.
Senior QB Alahn Yanez has passed for 1,264 yards. The closest a Redskins rusher is to 1,000 yards is Gabriel Martinez (540).
Can this possibly be true at Donna? Even Redskins coach Manny Moreno got a good laugh about it.
“Not at Donna,” he said jokingly.

Garcia is a go-to player for McAllen Memorial
Syndicated on Nov-3-2009. Courtesy of RGVSports.com
McALLEN — At halftime of McAllen Memorial’s game against Sharyland last week, Mustangs standout Ben Garcia’s numbers were pedestrian at best.
Some of that had to do with Sharyland’s defense, but Garcia had only four carries for 24 yards at intermission.
Similar to many of the other Mustangs skill players, Garcia, who will help lead the Mustangs against Donna in on Friday at Bennie La Prade Stadium, needed only one play to make an impact.
