It's Bowl Time! Javelinas ready to end season on positive note vs. East Central
The Javelinas are going bowling!
For the first time since 2016, Texas A&M-Kingsville will play in a postseason game when it faces off with former Lone Star Conference rival East Central University in the Fun Town RV Heritage Bowl in Corsicana.
The Javelinas will be looking to finish the season on a high note after a rough end to the season where they lost four straight games. Over that stretch, A&M-Kingsville (7-4) lost the last three games by an average of six points.
The Javelinas, though, have had some recent success in postseason bowl games, including winning the Agent David Barry Live United Bowl 24-7 against Southern Arkansas in 2016.
