The young Bobcats put together another good drive behind the blocking of Jacob Martinez, Damien Toelkin, Anthony Villarreal, Seth Phillips, Gilbert Palomo, Caleb Davis and Aaron Hughes.
Running backs Donavan Encinia and Echavarria took advantage of the big holes up front and Echavarria finished the drive with a 12-yard run for the score. The conversion failed, but the ‘Cats were in front 14-8. Echavarria punched one more TD across right before the half to make it a 22-8 game at the intermission as Encinia made good on the two-point conversion run.
