San Marcos (0-8, 0-4 district) traveled down I-35 to take on New Braunfels (5-3, 2-3) in what head coach Mark Soto said is a rivalry for this school.Â
New Braunfels took no time to get its crowd involved on homecoming night, getting out to an early lead and controlling the clock with the ground game. Once the Unicorns went up, they never looked back. The 48-7 win over the Rattlers kept New Braunfels’ chances to make the playoffs alive with two games remaining on its schedule.
The Unicorns got out to a quick start, scoring 20 points in the first quarter with their fast-paced offense that opened up big plays for the playmakers on their team. On their second drive, junior quarterback Peyton Driggers completed a 14-yard pass to senior wide receiver Garrett Thompson followed by a 31-yard rushing touchdown on the second play of the drive. The hosts forced a three-and-out the next drive.
