CUERO, TX — September 12, 2025
The Cuero Gobblers delivered a statement win Friday night, overpowering the Yoakum Bulldogs 42–28 in the 116th installment of their historic rivalry. With a balanced attack and relentless tempo, Cuero extended its undefeated season to 3–0 and reaffirmed its place atop the district conversation.
Quarterback Jaxxon Marie set the tone early, slicing through Yoakum’s defense with a mix of precision passing and explosive runs. Cuero’s offensive line controlled the trenches, allowing the Gobblers to dictate pace and possession throughout the night.
Yoakum kept it close through two quarters, but Cuero’s second-half adjustments—particularly on defense—shut down the Bulldogs’ momentum. The Gobblers held Yoakum scoreless in the fourth quarter, while tacking on two touchdowns to seal the win.
The victory not only extends Cuero’s win streak to six games dating back to last season, but also marks their third consecutive win over Yoakum. With district play looming, the Gobblers look sharper, deeper, and more disciplined than they did this time last year.
Next up: Cuero travels to face Miller on September 20. If Friday’s performance is any indication, the Gobblers aren’t just chasing wins—they’re building a legacy.
