As the 2025 Texas high school football regular season nears its close, no team is hotter than the 8–1 Cuero Gobblers, winners of two straight—including last week’s 70–20 blowout over Ingleside.

Senior standout Walter Dietze lit up the field with 10 receptions for 238 yards, anchoring a dominant offensive performance that sent a clear message: Cuero is playoff-ready.

This Friday, the Gobblers return home to face the 6–3 Robstown Cottonpickers, who limp into town on a two-game skid, including a 45–0 loss to Sinton last week. But Cuero’s focus stretches beyond the home turf—they’ll be watching the Rockport-Fulton vs. Sinton showdown at Pirates Stadium. A Sinton win would create a three-way tie atop District 15-4A Division II, with Cuero, Sinton, and Rockport-Fulton each holding just one district loss. That would crown all three as co-champions.

With a playoff berth secured two weeks ago, Cuero is using this final regular-season game to build depth and give future stars a taste of big-game energy. Five freshman standouts are expected to see action, including two-way threat HB/MLB Prince Santa Cruz, who’s already turning heads on both sides of the ball.

Quarterback Jace Guajardo will take more snaps this week, giving Jaxxon Marie a well-earned breather. Fans will remember Guajardo’s clutch performance last season when Marie was sidelined with injury—he stepped up and delivered.

The Gobblers are locked in, hungry, and ready. Friday night lights in Cuero will shine bright, but the scoreboard in Rockport may matter just as much.

Robstown, TX — The future of Cuero football looks bright. The Cuero Gobbler Freshmen capped off their season in dominant fashion Thursday night, rolling past Robstown with a 42–0 shutout to clinch an undefeated district championship.

From the opening whistle, the young Gobblers controlled the tempo, showcasing the kind of discipline, speed, and swagger that’s become a Cuero trademark. The defense was relentless—swarming the Cottonpickers, forcing turnovers, and keeping the scoreboard clean. On offense, the Gobblers moved with precision, stacking up points and chewing up clock.

This win marks the end of a perfect district run, with the freshmen squad going undefeated in 15-4A Division II play. Coaches praised the team’s growth, grit, and chemistry, noting that several players are already making waves as future varsity contributors.
Among the standouts this season:

• HB/MLB Prince Santa Cruz, a two-way threat who’s earned praise for his explosive runs and lockdown defense.

• A deep rotation of linemen and receivers who’ve built a foundation of trust and execution.

With varsity eyes on a playoff run, the freshmen have already made their mark—a perfect season, a district title, and a promise of what’s to come.
