(Mission, Texas)-Mission Veterans Memorial head football coach, Dave Gilpin looked at his defense and told them, “this is not Patriot football” as the Edcouch-Elsa Yellowjackets stung the Patriots defense for two straight touchdown scores to lead 13-6 early in the first quarter at Richard Thompson stadium on Thursday. Those words made a difference for the remainder of the night as the defense held, and the offense rolled past the Yellowjackets 27-21 to stay in first place at 3-0 in District 16-5A Division II.

Patriots QB Ricky Reyna started the night with a 77-yard touchdown bomb to WR Enrique Ordaz to give Mission Veterans (3-2, 3-0) a 6-0 lead after missing the extra point. The Jackets answered right back with a touchdown run by RB Josh Gomez to take a 7-6 lead. He finished the night with 128 yards and two scores on 13 carries. Overall, the Jackets just fell flat. They would end their night with 174 total yards. Reyna finished the night 17-of-33 passes for 305 yards to keep his team in first place.

The Patriots will play Sharyland (2-1, 1-0) next Thursday night at Richard Thompson Stadium while the Jackets (1-3, 1-2) will meet the Mercedes Tigers at Tiger Stadium on Friday.
