Fast start pushes Goliad past Rio Hondo in playoff opener

CORPUS CHRISTI — The Goliad football team didn’t waste much time turning the scoreboard in its playoff opener against Rio Hondo. And those points were certainly needed. The Tigers recovered a Bobcat fumble on the second play of the game, and two plays later Brayden Franke scampered in for a 26-yard touchdown. The Tigers (6-5) used that fast start and a solid running game to take a 42-28 victory against Rio Hondo in a Class 3A Division I bi-district game at Warrior Stadium.
