In the first event in the newly named Veteran's Memorial Stadium (formerly Buchanan Stadium, at the BEC), the Buchanan Bears, in a thrilling finish, came from behind to defeat the Clovis West Golden Eagles. Matthew Johnson kicked a solid 22-yard field goal with 1:17 seconds left as the Bears fans went into a frenzy. The game was a hard fought one on both sides, but it was one outstanding defensive series after that put the Bears in line for the upset. The Eagles moved the ball up and down the field, but the Bears tightened up every time the Eagles had an opportunity to score, leaving the team from Teague with just three points in the second half. The huge play in that second half was a shocker when the Bears lined up for a punt on a fourth down and 14, as the blocking back A.J. Caviglia took a direct snap from center and he rolled out and threw a perfect pass to Preston Argenberger, good for 17 yards and a first down. Another huge play was the Henderson pass to Sammy Donald for a two point conversion that tied the game up at 25 and set the stage for the Johnson clutch field goal for the upset. Clovis West took a 22-17 lead into the lockeroom at half-time, but could not finish in the second half for the second straight week. (Last week 15-0 over Central, then got the win at 15-12).
