Zayden Garza's 3 fourth-quarter touchdowns rally Davenport over Somerset
Garza scored three times in the fourth quarter to help the Wolves rally from down 24-14 to beat the Bulldogs in the bi-district round.
In a thrilling Class 4A Division I first-round playoff game at Heroes Stadium on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, Davenport's Zayden Garza led the Wolves to a 35-32 victory over Somerset. Garza rushed for 245 yards on 35 carries, propelling a Davenport rushing attack that overwhelmed Somerset's defense with 309 total yards. Despite Somerset coming in as the number one seed and Davenport as the fourth seed, the Wolves defied the odds to advance to the second round, where they will face Corpus Christi Miller.
Somerset, the District 14-4A-I champions, lost to Davenport in both of the previous two seasons. Garza's three fourth-quarter touchdowns were instrumental in the turnaround, as Davenport overcame a 24-14 deficit to take the lead in the final moments. Somerset mounted a comeback with quarterback Adrian Buentello throwing for 279 yards and three touchdowns, but Davenport's defense held firm, forcing a game-tying drive that fell short with 5:32 remaining on the clock.
