The 7-1 Cuero Gobblers are riding high into Week 9 after a thrilling 56-55 victory over then-ranked #5 Sinton Pirates—a win that earned quarterback Jaxxon Marie the Week 8 Built Ford Tough Player of the Week honors. Marie lit up the field with a career-high 7 passing touchdowns, going 23-for-39 for 322 yards, and added another score on the ground with 100 rushing yards on 16 carries. Now, the Gobblers look to carry that momentum into Mustang Stadium as they face the 2-5 Ingleside Mustangs in a pivotal district matchup.
Cuero’s offense has been electric, and by the numbers, they’re expected to do what they do best—rack up yards and light up the scoreboard. Ingleside, however, comes in allowing an average of 42.2 points per game, a stat that favors Cuero’s high-powered attack. But as every coach knows, district games are never a gimme. The Mustangs may be down in the standings, but the old adage rings true: anything can happen on any given Friday.
This game carries extra weight for Cuero. It’s a “win and you’re in” scenario—if the Gobblers take care of business in Ingleside, they’ll punch their ticket to the state playoffs. Seeding and district championship outcomes remain up in the air in this tightly contested district, likely to be decided in the final week. But a win Friday puts Cuero in prime position to chase another district title.
History favors the Gobblers, who haven’t lost to Ingleside since 2015 and dominated last year’s matchup with a 40-14 victory. Still, the stakes are high, and Cuero will need to stay sharp, focused, and hungry.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday at Mustang Stadium. Expect fireworks, grit, and a Gobbler squad determined to keep the momentum rolling.
