Pete’s Pigskin Preview: Bovina Mustangs
2025: 5-6, reached third round of playoffs
BOVINA, Texas (KCBD) - The Bovina Mustangs made one of the most surprising playoff runs in Texas last season. After finishing fourth in district, the Mustangs upset first-place Hale Center 36-24 and then eliminated Seagraves 23-16 the following week. The second-round victory came weeks after they had lost to that same team 37-0. The Mustangs fell to Stratford in the third round, and finished with a 5-6 record.
This will be the second season for head coach Wade Wilson, who looks to build on last year’s late success.
“We have a good senior class in a lot of them, I would say that’s a strength. We’ve got good leadership this year,” he said. “We’re big! We’ve got some big dudes, so our offensive and defensive line is going to be big.”
Key returners include: RB/LB Javier Delgado, RB/LB Matthew Espinosa, RB/DB Ricardo Flores, OL/DL Marlon Garcia, RB/LB Rigoberto Garcia, RB/DB Reed Packebush, RB/LB Eli Rocha, OL/DL Armondo Sanchez, and OL/DL Eric Solis.
