Pearland Dawson closed out the regular season Friday night at Freedom Field, falling 31-10 to the Manvel Mavericks. The Eagles showed flashes of big-play potential, led by Corey Brown, who returned a punt 59 yards for a touchdown to help give Dawson a 10-3 second-quarter lead.
The Dawson defense continued to battle throughout the night, forcing fumbles and interceptions while adding a blocked field goal. Brown also made his presence felt on both sides of the ball, coming up with an interception in the end zone. Manvel took control after halftime, scoring 22 unanswered points in the second half to pull away for the 31-10 victory.
With the regular season behind them, the Eagles now turn their attention to the 6A Division One playoffs where Dawson will travel to Delmar Stadium to face the 7-3 Houston Lamar Texans on Friday, November 13th at 7p.m.
