The La Feria Lions kicked off week three of the 2022 Texas High School Football Season. After the big 27-25 win over PSJA Southwest, the Lions were looking to capture their second straight win of the season. Week three, La Feria headed to Sams Stadium to take on the Brownsville Pace Vikings. A History-making matchup, La Feria and Brownsville Pace have never met on the gridiron prior to this matchup.

Brownsville Pace Scored first on their opening drive, La Feria got their offense started in the second quarter with the Lions picking up a touchdown. The defense was the key factor for La Feria and Brownsville Pace in the First half, as both teams managed to only score one touchdown in the first half.

Brownsville Pace scored first in the first half to take the lead 14-7. La Feria then responded to tie the game up 14-14. With defense again setting the tempo, the third quarter remained scoreless to make it 14-14.
La Feria took complete control in the fourth quarter, scoring four touchdowns in four minutes, with the Lions also forcing five turnovers in the process. La Feria would hold on to win 42-21.

The La Feria Lions now sit 2-1 on the young season. La Feria will take on Mercedes for the final tuneup game before the Lions will kick off District Play against Alice.
