CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Miller and Calhoun faced off in a UIL 4-A D1 District 15 matchup at Buccaneer Stadium under the Friday night lights.
Both teams fighting for a chance at the district title, came into this game more than just prepared.
During pregame warm-ups Calhoun Head Coach Stephen Hrncir said that his team knew the importance of the game. Miller, with a win would be facing Calallen in a de-facto district championship game the next week. But he said that he believed Miller's toughest battle yet was staring them in the eye Friday night.
The Sandcrabs suffered a few ball security issues through much of the first half specifically on the snap, and after a change at quarterback and center the team continued to suffer them.
But they controlled the clock much of the night, and kept the high octane Buccaneer offense at bay for a large majority of the 1st half.
Late in the 2nd quarter the Miller offense began to exploit a few holes in the Calhoun run defense and took the halftime lead.
It wasn't until the final quarter that this chess match turned into a street fight. 3 lead changes in just the 4th quarter alone. After the dust settled, Miller stood tall with a 28-23 win on the night before Halloween.
Miller takes on the Calallen Wildcats in Week 11.
