El Paso Riverside 24, Big Spring 20 — After having a bus issue on the way to El  Paso and being forced to wait through a mid-game lightning delay once there, the Steers came up just short in a thrilling comeback bid against the Rangers.

Riverside scored the game’s first 24 points, getting a passing touchdown and a pair of rushing scores from quarterback Carlos Rojas before the midway point of the second quarter. But Big Spring shut the Rangers out for the final 29 minutes, 17 seconds, allowing the Steers offense to fight its way back into the game.
