Donna North second-year head coach Juan Cuevas was named Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Class 6A Coach of the Week after he led the Chiefs to a 38-14 victory over La Joya Juarez-Lincoln in Week 2. The win was Cuevas’ first as a head coach and also snapped the program’s 30-game losing streak, dating back to Oct. 13, 2017.
“It’s the culmination of the hard work and dedication that not only our coaching staff has, but the past coaching staff that established the foundation there. We’ve been through a lot of adversity with the pandemic and coming in with all the challenges we’ve been through as a program, as a staff and as a community, it feels amazing to be part of this,” Cuevas said after the win Friday night. “It’s my first win as a head coach, we broke a streak and I’m just so happy for our players, the Donna North community, the administration that believed in me and my staff, that we could come in and establish a good program, and this is just the start.”
The Chiefs (1-0, 0-0) face La Feria (1-0, 0-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday in La Feria.
