Rio Grande Valley Magic News Release


McALLEN, Texas---- Earning three wins in a row is not an easy thing indoor football, particularly during a short week like the Rio Grande Valley Magic endured. Their last victory over the road against the Amarillo Venom was a back and forth game in the second half where they were able to overcome a double-digit deficit.

Head Coach Schuyler "Skyler" Andersonsaid, "After pulling off two back to back impressive wins at home, our team wasput to the test as we had to take a 15 hour road trip to Amarillo, Texas toface a Venom team looking for pay back. After starting the game out sluggish ondefense and in the secondary, we were picked apart at times, I knew adjustmentshad to happen. Our offense battled back in the second half and our defensive lineapplied the right pressure to not only cause a 4th down stop but also a safetyin the end zone. At that point our offense didn't look back as we were able tohold off a scrappy Venom team in front of their home crowd."

Coach Anderson commented on the upcoming homegame against West Texas "Heading into the West Texas game and some much neededchanges for the better as we continue our quest for a championship one game ata time, I feel we need to make sure we start fast and not look back. I havetold the guys not to under estimate West Texas even though they seem to bestruggling right now. We need to continue to focus on playing Magic Footballand at a high level. I'm confident that our guys will go into this game withthat mindset and protect the current win streak."
