Friday night, the Industrial Cobras traveled up Highway 59 to take on the East Bernard Brahmas. The Cobras lost 28-7, making their district record 3-2 and their overall record 3-6.
The game began with the coin toss, which the Brahmas won and deferred, followed by a kickoff to the Cobras. Both teams came out strong, going back and forth until Ryan Riddle brought in the first touchdown of the game for the Cobras. The Brahmas offense quickly answered, taking the ball in for a touchdown of their own.
“I thought we had a decent game,” Cobra Head Football Coach Matthew Luddeke said. “We didn’t play a full four quarters, but we had moments of good on both sides of the ball. We just have to maintain it for a four quarter game.” The Cobra offense, which had a total of 157 yards, was led by Gaziah Lopez, Ryan Riddle, Cooper Francis, and Easton Larew. Francis and Larew split quarterback duties, with Francis going five for 11, throwing 53 yards, and Larew went one for two, throwing 11 yards.
