Veterans Memorial's chances of advancing to the regional semifinals for the seventh consecutive season came to abrupt end after a 17-7 loss to Brownsville Veterans Memorial on Friday at Buc Stadium.
The Corpus Eagles conclude their 2023 campaign 8-4 and fall in the area round for the first time in the program's eight-year history.
Their only lead came early in the third quarter when quarterback Billy White III connected with Ryan Wilson for a one-handed, 6-yard touchdown pass.
The Chargers rallied behind a 27-yard touchdown run by Gilbert Trillo and Alvin Trevillion put the finishing touches on the game with a 4-yard score with 1:26 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Brownsville Veterans Memorial will play Rio Grande Valley rival PSJA North, a 42-7 winner against Victoria East, in the regional round.
Both defenses could not have asked for a better start after both teams combined for eight punts in the first half. The Eagles were the first team to reach the red zone, but a fumble flipped the momentum back to the Chargers.

A great product from Spectrum which saves you money and turns a regular TV into a Smart TV. The basic box is $10.95. You can replace it with XUMO from Spectrum for $5.00. You have to return the old box.
You need to have your cell phone ready for different codes they give you to activate Spectrum TV and any other paid for services.
I do not have a Smart TV in the family room. I almost never use it. XUMO turned it into a Smart TV, and now I can see everything from my nice recliner.
Don't get excited
It's 5a
Like last year, PSJA North will skunk this Brownsville team. PSJA North is ranked 7th in the state. Brownsville Vets is NOT ranked.
Brownsville vet is a 6 A school, but BISD made sure the school was a spit school in order to get wins in the 5 A schedule. Best of luck to PSJA.
@12:21 Apperentley you don't watch football that much, rankings are nothing.
Any team can lose mostly in High School Football. But your right, Pharr has a very good team and Brownsville Vets has a hugh task in front of them for sure. But I for one hope the chargers KICK their ASS.! Go Chargers!
For all you haters out there, Dont be haters, Go Chargers and beat PSJA. El Porter kid
May the best team win, good luck to both teams and pray for no injuries. The winner will represent the RGV well. I’m from Brownsville, so GO CHARGERS!!
THEY HAD TO WIN ONE AFTER 20 YEARS AND OUT OF 35 VALLEY TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS ONLY 2, DOS WON. THE COACHES FROM THOSE SCHOOL DISRICTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN FIRED!
LOTS OF COMPLAINS FROM THE FANS THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO THEIR DESTINATION BECAUSE THEY WERE HELD BACK AT THE SARITA CHECK POINT. THAT AFRICAN FLIES INTO BOCA CHICA AND IS NEVER CHECKED FOR ANY CREDENTIALS.
Texas 6A is for schools with over 2200 students.
How many kids attend Vereran's?
Our board members and coaches are all cheaters
Way to manipulate the numbers
What are we teaching the players?

THE TRUTH
In an effort to keep students from going to IDEA Schools, BISD and Ex. Super came out with bright idea to do away with zoning high schools.
Of course the elite, the well off, the athletes that have parents that afford summer camps, vitamins, nice athletic attire, and extra trainings/trainers, gym memberships, WENT TO VETERANS.
All good athletes that wanted to WIN went to Veterans. How did UIL allow this and not find it illegal other than morally wrong.
What happens to the Lopez/Porter/Rivera student athlete that has to go to zone campus. They end up with a TEAM made up of 20 players and become the Joke of their district.
How many kids get injured because they would never be the starter if those players that drive to Veterans would stay at Home Campus.
UIL how is this ok with you.
Coaches from Vets, its not your fault that the school board allowed this to happen, but please do not think you are the best coaching staff from Brownsville, YOU JUST HAVE THE ELITE, SELECTIVE Group of athletes.
If you do not win, Shame on you. Its like you have the ALL STAR players for the entire season.
SHAME ON UIL
SHAME ON Brownsville Board Members
SHAME ON THE PEOPLE who thing this is ok.
It's winning at all cost for Browntown,
No se Vale.. No sean M.....
