Eagle Pass Golf Course
For the fifth year, a tradition which celebrates the camaraderie and competitive nature of athletes who have so much in common, that only a winding river separates them from each other and every year, just after the Ryder Cup is played between the best professional golfers from the United States versus the best golfers the continent of Europe has to offer, the River Cup is played at the Eagle Pass Golf Course between 30-35 golfers from Eagle Pass against their similar from our neighboring country of Mexico. A total of 72 matches were held over three days with the Cup decided on the last couple of matches. Team Captains Beto Ochoa of Mexico led his charges against Captain Dr. Ruben Barron's USA Squad from October 6th thru the 8th in a variety of match-play formats. On Friday, the US jumped out to a 10-7 lead in a four-man scramble format which allows all four teammates to play the best ball hit around the course.

A.D. Ibarra -Eagle Pass
The San Luis Cardinal Connection Inferno did all it could to knock off the undefeated Graves Tigers on Saturday, but came up an extra point short. Isaias Ramirez scored twice for the Inferno, once on a reverse and the other on an interception, however both extra points failed, the last was a swing pass from Diego Ibarra to Aryam Baez which landed just out of Baez' reach keeping the game from going into overtime. The Tigers scored on a pass play from Victor Perry to Jorge Fernandez just over the outstretched hands of an Inferno defender in the first quarter. Gavin Montalvo almost scored in the third but was stopped just short of the goal line, but Roly Riza bootlegged right, faked a pass and ran it in from one yard out for the winning score. On Friday, the Inferno defeated the Cowboys 35-0 on a fine offensive performance by both Ibarra and QB Ruben Ramos.
