The Eagle Pass Lady Eagles circled their prey and then swooped down and snatched the unsuspecting Lady Wolves, 7-1, on Monday, Feb. 3, on the Student Activities Center softball field.
The Eagles were led by Kat De La Cruz, their fireballing ace lefthander, who hurled five dominating shutout innings for Eagle Pass (1-0).
The Eagles led 1-0 after the bottom of the first, as Krystal Perez scored on an RBI double by Daniela Velasquez.
In the third, Monica Flores' sac fly drove in Sandra Mendoza, and the Eagles led 2-0.
In the fourth, Kat slammed a double off the right-centerfield fence, advanced to third on a groundout, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Vivian Ramirez, boosting the Eagles' lead to 3-0.
In the fifth, Samantha Fuentes, Crystal Perez and Sarah Gonzalez walked. Mendoza doubled In two runs, then Flores singled in a run. The Eagles led 6-0.
Kat De La Cruz, the winning pitcher (1-0), fired five shutout innings, giving up only two hits.
Sairah Gonzales pitched the sixth and seventh innings, giving up just one run.
Mendoza drove in the final run, giving the jubilant Eagles a stunning 7-1 win in bitter cold. The temperature dropped to below 40 degrees, and the wind chill made it seem like 20.
"The wind was blowing in hard and cold from right field," victorious coach Oscar Ruiz said after the game. "But our girls played a good game, and adjusted well to the weather. It was very cold, but they played right through it. I am very proud of them. It was a tremendous win. We played great."

The Eagle Pass High School Lady Eagles girls basketball team seized an 18-15 lead at the end of the first quarter, but then were doubled up by the Del Rio Queens 76-38 on Friday night, Jan. 31, at the EP Student Activities Center.
A 12-0 Queens run at the start of the second quarter spelled the beginning of the end for the Lady Eagles, who were outscored 22-6 in the second quarter, 16-9 in the third quarter, and 23-5 in the fourth quarter.
The referees were no help, blowing several obvious calls clearly visible to everyone in the gym, but the Eagles were totally unable to stall the furious Del Rio blitz, which employed the usual full-court press and relentless fast break.
Lady Eagles Coach Ruben Besa urged everyone to come out for Tuesday night's big season-closing games at the center, featuring the Eagle Pass Eagles boys team facing the C.C. Winn Mavericks at 6 p.m., followed by the Lady Mavericks playing the Lady Eagles at 7:30 p.m.
"Tuesday night will be the biggest games of the year," Coach Besa said.
On Friday night, coach Ken Hefner's Del Rio Queens raised their district record to 8-3 and their overall mark to 13-17, after besting the Lady Eagles.
The Eagles were paced by Yuliana Velasquez, who had 11 points, five rebounds, two blocks and two steals.
Bree Carreon scored six points and had a steal, while Glenda Garza had six points, three rebounds and a steal.
Sophie Gomez had five points, a rebound and a steal, and center Martha Rodriguez had four points, five rebounds and two steals.
Kassie Saucedo fired in a 3-pointer and grabbed a rebound, while Stacey Pacheco also connected on a deep trey. Daniela Garza had three rebounds, and Georgina Jimenez had a rebound and an assist.

Seahawks ready to start work on Super Bowl defense

Seahawks ready to start work on Super Bowl defense

HOWARD FENDRICH, AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — 

Super Bowl-winning coach Pete Carroll says his Seattle Seahawks already "have an eye on what's coming" and will start preparing immediately for next season.

Appearing at a news conference Monday morning with linebacker Malcolm Smith, the MVP of Seattle's 43-8 victory over Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, Carroll says the work to avoid "fallout" of being champions "starts tomorrow."

He adds: "The first meeting that we'll have will be tomorrow. ... Our guys would be surprised if we didn't."

Smith's 69-yard interception return for a touchdown and fumble recovery made him only the third linebacker to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. He says teammates were telling him during the game he might get the MVP award, and his reply was: "No way."
