COLLEGE STATION — Both Xavier Ledesma and Zaraivion Armendarez brought their A-game Thursday afternoon and had a key hand in Raymondville’s 2-1 run in pool play.
Ledesma and Armendarez provided quarterback Jacob Posas with a solid 1-2 punch from the wide receiver position.
All afternoon Posas looked for his guy, Ledesma, and in each game, Ledesma reeled in a score, and provided big catches for the Kats.
“It was fun playing against tough teams,” Ledesma said. “We kept our head down and kept working and pulled through to pick up those two wins. Our coaches wanted us to keep fighting and we knew we needed to win out to make the winners bracket.”
Posas relied on both Ledesma and Armandarez on several key situations; the chemistry between the three is something Raymondville fans can look forward to in the fall.
“Jacob is a great QB, he and I have played since our Jr High days, and he knows where I will be when I run my routes,” Ledesma said.
Armandarez finished the afternoon with four interceptions with two of them coming in their final game against Palestine.
“We made mistakes early, but we adjusted on defense and on offense. We knew what we were doing wrong, so it was a matter of correcting the little things and we were able to correct those things and pick up the wins.” Armandarez said.
