One week ago, the VC Eagles demolished Highland Baptist 40-0 to move into a tie for first place in District 8-A with Central Catholic, both teams with a 2-0 district record.
It was also the night that VC unleashed senior quarterback Mikie Bazar, who returned to the field for the first time since the preseason when he sustained a back injury that put him on the shelf for the first six weeks of the season.

Erath defense delivers when needed

Mon, 10/11/2021 - 3:50pm

ERATH - Offense, offense, and more offense. That is what usually comes up when one talks about the Erath Bobcats football team.
It is common to hear things like, “That Lynkon Romero kid can throw the football.”
“Who is Erath’s best receiver?”
Seldom does one talk about the Erath defense. The defense never gets mentioned because they have been giving up a lot of points each game. Yet, despite that, the Bobcats continue to win.
They have now won four straight, including Friday night’s 35-24 thriller against the Kaplan Pirates.
