San Antonio East Central outlasted San Marcos, 42-38, in an overtime battle Friday night inside San Marcos Toyota Rattler Stadium.
The Rattlers survived a late fourth-quarter drive by the Hornets when junior kicker Noah Chavez’s game-winning field goal attempt hit off the left upright and was no good, sending the contest into overtime knotted at 35-35.
San Marcos (0-4, 0-1 26-6A) took a 38-35 lead in overtime after a 41-yard field goal by junior kicker Daniel Marquez sailed through the uprights. The Rattler defense looked poised to hold strong but East Central (3-1, 1-0) used a pivotal late-hit penalty to move inside the 7-yard line. The Hornets sealed the game two plays later with a 5-yard touchdown run by senior running back Deangelo Rosemond.
