BIG LAKE, TX — Week 2 of the Texas High School Football Season kicked off on Thursday, August 31, when the Reagan County Owls battled the McCamey Badgers in Big Lake. Reagan County looked to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to Wink 54-48 in overtime in Week 1. The Owls burst out to an early lead and just kept adding on to it. Reagan County secured its first win of the season 57-27.
After punting in on the Owls’ first possession, Reagan County exploded on Offense. The combination of Kason Brown, AJ Avalos, Jarrett Brown, and Raymond Saldivar proved to be too much for McCamey to handle. The Owls built a 29-7 advantage behind touchdowns from Avalos, two from Saldivar, and one from Brown on the ground. Kason had two passing touchdowns in the first half.
McCamey had flashes of brilliance on offense but, overall, could not consistently overcome Reagan County’s defense. The Badgers best looking drive of the first half turned out to be a brilliant one by anyone’s standard. McCamey began the possession at the Badgers’ 2-yard line. They proceeded to march 98 yards on 10+ plays that were capped off by a 40-yard touchdown on a hitch route where the receiver broke several tackles on the way to a score.
