CFC #9 Longhorns defeat CFC #15 Lords (last years #1 team) in opening game

It was not pretty, but the Corpus Christi Longhorns (CFC #9) were able to successfully avenge their 2011 H.S.S.A.A. Senior Tier I final loss to the defending champion Nelson Lords (CFC #15).  It also marked the first time in Corpus Christi school history that they beat the Senior Lords.  The contest was not a classic as both teams combined for 14 punts between them.  The Longhorns defence was the story limiting the Lords to 44 yards of net offence.  Running back Aaron Veltri also assisted the Longhorns cause carrying the mail 18 times for a game 108 yards on the ground.
