HIDALGO, Texas---- The Rio Grande Valley Magic could not stop the Laredo Rattlesnakes as they fell 69-52 on Saturday night at the State Farm Arena.

The Rattlesnakes got the scoring started as DePhilip Harris took the handoff into the end zone for the first score of the game. The Magic got the next possession and turned it over on down and provided the 'Snakes another easy opportunity to score again.

Jerome Harris caught a deep ball from Matt Jeffers for another score and Laredo never looked back as they took care of the Magic turnover on downs.

Matt Jeffers threw for 215 yards with five touchdown and no interceptions for the game. Josh Crawford had 124 receiving yards with three touchdowns.
