STAYING HOME: Donna spoils McAllen Memorial's playoff plans

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

DONNA — 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

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

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.

Yanez, Donna rally to defeat upset-minded McAllen Rowe

DONNA — Donna quarterback Alahn Yanez passed for 277 yards and accounted for three touchdowns to help lead the Redskins’ rally past McAllen Rowe 30-20 in District 30-5A action Friday at Bennie La Prade Stadium.

The game was delayed nearly an hour because of lightning in the area.

The Redskins (4-1 overall, 2-0 district) fought back from a two-touchdown deficit with three scores — including two on passes by Yanez — in the second quarter.
