We have to do a better job of taking care of the football. Hats off to [Bill] Maskill and his staff, we will get back to work and get better. We will put this one behind us in 24 hours and fix what needs fixing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team traveled to Wichita Falls March 6 to take on Midwestern State where the Javelinas put up a good fight but fell 45-34.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redshirt sophomore quarterback Zadock Dinkleman threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns in his collegiate debut connecting with redshirt junior Ryan Martinez, and senior Kevin Reynolds for his scores.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defense had some improvement from the last meeting between the two allowing 18 less points from the prior matchup. Although a better showing from last year, defense still has room for improvement. After speaking with defensive backs coach Johnathan Petty, he gave insight on the prep for the next game and how the defense can improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are looking good this week. Guys have come in focused and ready to get better. We\u2019ve cleaned up the situational mistakes from last weekend\u2019s game as well as continued to improve on the things that we did well. The focus is on us and how we can get better through this process,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the late fourth quarter comeback, the Hogs eventually lost the battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a tough loss, but we will fight to get back on top and we\u2019re gonna come back stronger for sure,\u201d defensive lineman Ivan Reed said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Javelinas play against UTPB this weekend March 20 at Javelina Stadium in another rematch from last year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Javelinas lose first season game The first game for the Javelina Football team since 2019 did not end as planned for Head Coach Michael Salinas&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[210],"class_list":["post-5322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"cc_featured_image_caption":{"caption_text":false,"source_text":false,"source_url":false},"authors":[{"term_id":210,"user_id":63,"is_guest":0,"slug":"dylan-sanchez","display_name":"Dylan Sanchez","avatar_url":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/wp-content\/litespeed\/avatar\/ec744d1831ed680d2416c48998a3cfb4.jpg?ver=1776230974","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5322"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5324,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5322\/revisions\/5324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5322"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesouthtexan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=5322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
