The Thunderbirds score four touchdowns in the third quarter to run away with the victory.
Wagner's Edgar Bell Jr. hauls in a pass during Thursday night's game against MacArthur at Rutledge Stadium in Converse.Wagner overcame early mistakes to manhandle MacArthur 61-12 and pick up a District 12-5A-I win Thursday night at Rutledge Stadium. The Thunderbirds lost two fumbles and threw two interceptions in the first half, but they used a huge offensive blitz in the third quarter to knock off the Brahmas, who have now lost four straight and 32 of their last 33 games.
The Thunderbirds still have two of those teams - Seguin and Hays - among their final four regular-season opponents. Meanwhile, MacArthur has to go back to the drawing board, but the Brahmas can take heart that only one of the top three teams - Smithson Valley - is still left on its schedule.“We didn’t play well in the first half whatsoever,” Wagner coach Jason Starin said.
