Turnovers and missed chances cost El Campo a big home win Friday night as Calhoun rallied late for a 35-31 victory. The Ricebirds led early behind two touchdowns from Vlad Garcia, but costly fumbles and a heartbreaking late turnover sealed their fate. With the loss, El Campo drops to 6-3 overall and 2-2 in district play, locking them into the fourth and final playoff spot. Coach Travis Reeve praised his team’s effort but said they “just didn’t play well enough in the second half.” The Ricebirds now prepare to face district champion La Vernia Friday on the road.
