The Eldorado Eagles football team defeated the D’Hanis Cowboys 27-14 on Friday, November 19th at Walter Leavermann Stadium in Del Rio to claim the Area Championship. The win represents only the third time in team history that an Eagles team has won in the second round of the playoffs. Eagles squads won two playoff games in 1937 and 1950, but neither of those could advance to the third round since the playoffs of that era didn’t continue beyond that level.
