ARLINGTON — A magical season for the Eastland Mavericks came to an end on Thursday night with a Region II-3A Division II final loss to second-ranked and defending state champion Gunter 61-28 at Globe Life Park in Arlington.

The Mavericks were unable to contain Gunter’s option attack as the Tigers ran for 452 yards while racking up several big plays through the air for touchdowns as they toyed with Eastland all night.

Gunter quarterback Hudson Graham accounted for nearly 400 total yards and had a hand in seven touchdowns, four rushing and three passing.
