Three of the Manteca Cowboys teams remain undefeated at 5-0, while the varsity team bounced back from its first loss with a win over the Modesto Raiders at East Union this past Saturday.

All four teams used balanced attacks and stifling defense to pull off the sweep. The rookies recorded their fourth shutout in five games.

The Cowboys continue DYSA Nor-Cal League play on the road against the Jr. Warriors of Galt this upcoming weekend.

The rain slowed the Cowboys offense early, but it eventually snapped out of the funk and raced toa 31-16 victory.
