SAN ANTONIO – The first-ever KSAT Pigskin Classic kicked off at the Alamodome on Saturday, with a 5A versus 6A clash between the Reagan Rattlers and the Smithson Valley Rangers.
Thousands of high school football fans saw the Rangers defeat the Rattlers in a defensive battle by a score of 14-13.
A quarterback keeper on first-and-goal from the 2-yard line late in the fourth quarter was the deciding score in a game that saw multiple defensive stops.
Senior safety and running back David De Hoyos had a key fumble recovery in the fourth quarter and was chosen as the Jon Wayne Player of the Game.
“My teammates did amazing. I think I did alright, but the guys behind me, they really are the MVPs of this game. Without them, I couldn’t have done what I’ve done.”
During each game, fans can vote for who they think should be named player of the game. Pick correctly and you could win a pair of tickets to a 2023 SA Gunslingers game and get a chance at the grand prize — a $10,000 Home Makeover Package from Jon Wayne Service Company.
