SAN ANTONIO — The "R" words are endless.

Rematch.

Revenge.

Respect.

But the Harlingen Cardinals can think of one only.

Redemption.

Hollywood couldn't have scripted it better.

One year after the Cardinals got beat by Austin Westlake at the Alamodome, the schools face off again in a Class 5A, Division I regional game.

Same place. Same date. Same teams.

"We're all excited and ecstatic about this," Harlingen DT Nick Aviles said after a morning Thanksgiving Day practice.

HARLINGEN — Success isn't always measured by wins and losses.

If that was the case, Harlingen head coach Manny Gomez could demand a raise right now.

In three years at the helm of the Cardinals football program, Big Red's exploded to a 29-7 record so far.

Gomez led Harlingen to only the third undefeated regular season in school history.

Harlingen is 12-0 and in the third round of the playoffs for the second straight season.

The Cardinals play Austin Westlake in a Class 5A, Division I regional contest on Friday at the Alamodome.

CORPUS CHRISTI — Early on it appeared that Mercedes quarterback Albert Chavez was struggling, as he was making bad throws and had trouble running the ball.

But once he got rolling, there was no stopping him.

Chavez shook off a bad start and accounted for 341 yards of total offense (236 passing, 105 rushing) and five touchdowns (three passing, two rushing) to lead the Tigers to a 35-14 victory over Tuloso-Midway in a Class 4A Division II bi-district game on Saturday night at Tuloso-Midway’s Warrior Stadium.
