coronado

Our N3L Optics game of the week lived up to the hype of being the top game in the city as El Dorado defeated Coronado 33-28.  The Aztecs were heavily favored going into the contest, and looked to run away with the game by taking an early 13-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Coronado Thunderbirds desperately needed a win last night after losing to Midland 38-14 in week 0.  The T-Birds defeated former district 1-5a rival Hanks 41-7 in a game shortened due to lightning.

From the news on 5ATexasFootball.com's twitter feed (@5ATXFB), 600 ESPN El Paso has been able to confirm from sources at El Paso ISD that El Dorado high school has self-reported using an ineligible player for its final two district games to the University Interscholastic League, the governing body for Texas public school competitions and sports.

For the uninitiated, the first week of the UIL Texas high school football schedule is known as zero week.  Even thought this is technically the second week of play this is week one.  Now that that's out of the way lets get to the matchups.
