20190608 TheBroadwayStopSTWhile most students spend their summer vacation resting after months of hard work at school, one incoming senior at McAllen ISD’s Lamar Academy is putting her business skills to use by accomplishing her dream of opening a store-all for a good cause.

Regina Daniella Martinez, 17, celebrated the grand opening of her store The Broadway Stop last Friday, June 7. The Stop is a clothing and accessory pop-up shop with products from a dozen local shops located at 311 S. Broadway Street located near the new location of the Sacred Heart Humanitarian Respite Center. The Center will donate a percentage of proceeds to purchase materials to be donated to the respite center.

“I wanted to help an amazing cause, Martinez said. “I’ve volunteered at the respite center before and I see they run purely on volunteers and donated items and wanted to do something to help.”

20190606 SharylandPioneerCoachesThe remarkable season for Sharyland ISD baseball is over. The Rattlers and the Diamondbacks went where no two Valley teams have gone before, a head-to-head matchup in the UIL’s regional finals between two teams from the same school district. And while their respective paths during this historic season were similar, they each had different obstacles and challenges to overcome along the way.

One of the similarities that both teams had was great coaching. While it is the players that ultimately have to perform on the field, it is the coaching that gets the most out of each and every player, and it is the coaching that holds a team together during the rough times and keeps a team striving to excel even more during the good times.

In the case of the Rattlers and the Diamondbacks, it was the latter of these two scenarios that coaches Bart Bickerton and Casey Smith mastered this season. While most Valley teams falter once they’re matched up against teams from the Corpus Christi area and beyond, Bickerton and Smith both had their boys believing that they were as good as, if not better than, any team or teams in the state.

20190606 SharylandPioneerBaseballFinaleIf you haven’t heard by now, the Sharyland Pioneer Diamondbacks swept past rival Sharyland Rattlers last weekend in the UIL 5A Region IV Final of the 2019 baseball playoffs. The victories last Thursday and Friday at the UTRGV baseball stadium propelled Sharyland Pioneer to a spot in the 5A state tournament in Round Rock. They were scheduled to play Georgetown last night so by the time you read this their season may be over or they could be playing tomorrow for a state championship.

Either way the Diamondbacks have had a magical season.

Of course it could have been very easy to switch everything from my opening paragraph to read Sharyland High instead of Sharyland Pioneer because last week’s regional final series marked a rare occurrence. Two teams from the same UIL district and the same school district, neighbor meeting neighbor for a spot in the state tournament. It was a matchup we should remember for many reasons, the least of which being who beat who.
