CORPUS CHRISTI — The Cuero Gobblers left little doubt about their playoff intentions Friday night, overpowering Rockport-Fulton 48–27 at Buccaneer Stadium to advance in the UIL Class 4A Division II bracket.
From the opening kickoff, Cuero’s offense dictated the pace. Quarterback play was sharp, mixing precision passes with a relentless ground attack that kept the Pirates on their heels. Running backs carved through the defense with explosive gains, while receivers turned short throws into momentum-shifting first downs.
The Gobblers’ defense matched the energy, forcing turnovers and shutting down Rockport-Fulton’s attempts to rally in the second half. A key interception midway through the third quarter halted the Pirates’ comeback hopes and set up another Cuero touchdown drive that widened the gap.
By the final whistle, the scoreboard reflected not just a win but a statement: Cuero is built for November football.
The stands at Buccaneer Stadium were awash in green and white, with Gobbler Nation making the trip south to Corpus Christi in force. Their chants and cheers carried through every play, underscoring the bond between team and town.
With the victory, Cuero advances to the regional final, where the competition stiffens and the path to state glory sharpens. Head coach and players emphasized discipline and preparation in postgame remarks, noting that every step forward requires the same intensity that carried them past Rockport-Fulton.
For Cuero, the playoff journey continues — fueled by tradition, talent, and a community that refuses to be outshined.
