Maize South started off quick, intercepting the ball on the first play of the game and scoring 14 unanswered points.

However the Eagles fired back, scoring the next two touchdowns to tie the game at 14 going into halftime.

The game went back and forth, with both teams scoring touchdowns, to tie the game at 21 early in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks answered back quickly though, scoring in less than three minutes to take the lead again 28-21.

But the Eagles were not done yet. Senior quarterback Connor Lungwitz powered the ball in to the endzone to score a touchdown with 23 seconds remaining. The Eagles however failed the two point conversion, losing the game by one point.

“We played well,”  head coach Gary Guzman said. “We just had a couple key mistakes that ended up costing us the game.”
