Dub these guys the Card Killers.
Armando Medrano, 16, and Jason Montemayor, 36, who are both credited with catching game-winning touchdowns as wide receivers for the San Benito Greyhounds in the Battle of the Arroyo, met on Thursday for a memorable photo opportunity.
In the 1995 “Battle,” Jason hauled in a 44-yard fourth quarter TD strike from then-QB Eddie Benavidez on a hitch-and-go – a play made famous by Tommy Roberts, who at that time helmed the ’Hounds as head coach. The reception helped the ’Hounds defeat the Cards 15-6 in San Benito’s first victory over Harlingen in nearly 30 years.
