SMS Braves Football
The Braves opened their season at home against a big Moriarty Colts team. They were down 14-0 at half-time and only gave up six more points in the second half. The final score was 20-0. The Braves still made some big plays on offense, defense, and special teams. Braves Head Coach Avalos said that he is proud of the kids and the coaching staff.
“I believe we did really well against a team that was coached well and was very disciplined. I think our kids were a little timid of the size they had. Our kids here in Socorro never had contact until the seventh grade. About 85% of the kids we have are seventh graders,” Avalos said.
They were scheduled to play at Truth or Consequences Wednesday, Sept 10 at 5 p.m.
