The two biggest rivals had to face each other on the football field on Nov. 3. The crowd was extra tense waiting to see who the winning school was going to be.  The game had started, and the crowd saw that the Andress crowd started running and yelling. 

“I got so confused when I saw all the people running and yelling on the stands from Andress, so I just thought to myself what I’m I doing here, so I decided to get up and started running as well,” junior Vianney Cerros said. 

Everyone was yelling that there were gunshots. After a couple of minutes, the crowd realized that it wasn’t gunshots but someone had put off some fireworks. Some players thought that the game was going to end but it didn’t, it kept going. 

“When coach told me to come back because the game was going to keep going,” Andress defensive tackle Bryan Vega said. “I didn’t want to because of how scared I had gotten.”

They game started and the football started to score and was beating Andress

“The score was fair because even though there were distractions we played really good and we won fair and square,”  running back Carey Wade said.

The team defeated Andress 21-49. The Andress football team wanted a rematch. 

“I didn’t think the game was fair because I couldn’t have my head in the game 100% and was too scared there could be an actual shooting,” offense lineman Craig Wydra said.
