Ravenwood made a late charge, but couldn’t finish in a 26-23 loss to Williamson County rival Centennial on Friday.
The Raptors’ Cole Cartueax blocked a punt in the final two minutes, and running back Brian Garcia scored on the next play, bringing Ravenwood close. Ravenwood, however, was unable to get closer.
Unfortunately for Ravenwood, it was a punt play that put the Raptors behind the 8-ball to start the night.
A bad punt snap to punter Sam French on Ravenwood’s first series led to a Centennial touchdown on the same play.
Ravenwood, 7-6 last season, stays home to face Siegel, a 43-2 winner over Stewart’s Creek in its opener, next week.
