San Marcos’ homecoming was spoiled after visiting Eagle Pass completed an unexpected comeback Friday evening. A 20-point fourth quarter propelled the Eagles to victory after once trailing by 19.
The comeback was led by senior Eagle quarterback Issac Stanwick — who rushed for three touchdowns in the second half — with the last coming in the final minutes of the game to clinch the victory. Stanwick fueled the Eagles in the fourth as the Rattlers dealt with internal struggles including turnovers and penalties.
“What did we learn? Just (about) situations (and how to handle them), the first situation that went bad was before the half and that just put us behind,” Head coach John Walsh said. “So, we had an opportunity right there to really open it up. And then if we haven’t learned now, turnovers haven’t really been a problem, (but) they were definitely the problem at the end today.”
