The Dorados opened up a 21-3 lead at the half on reception TDs by Anthony Chambers and Eddie Jackson from rookie QB Tiger Lyon. Lyon also called his own number from the 1-yard run to give Rio a 14-3 lead with 48 seconds left in the first quarter. The RGV defense held the Wranglers to a field goal in the first quarter and shut down the Wranglers from the 2-yard line with time winding down in the first half.
The Wranglers cut the lead to 21-10 on a 1-yard run by QB Andy Hall for the only scoring in the third quarter. The Dorados answered back on 4-yard run by Robert May in the fourth quarter for the Rio Grande Valley, upping their lead to 28-10.
Hall hit his favorite receiver on the night, John Roberson, with a 21-yard TD pass, to make it a 28-17 game but that was all the Wranglers could muster against a tough Dorado defense. The Dorados added a safety and Brian Hazelwood field goal to round out the scoring at 33-17.
