20181019 SnaskinClassicsHOWAfter 47 minutes and 58 seconds of non-stop action between the Sharyland Rattlers and Pioneer Diamondbacks, it was fitting the Snakeskin Classic be decided on the final play of the game.

With :02 left on the clock, Sharyland’s Gabriel Tamez stepped up and nailed the game-winning 21-yard field goal to seal a 38-37 victory for the Rattlers, their fourth over Pioneer in five tries.

“That finish gives you an incredible feeling knowing you grinded all week just for that one moment” Tamez said. “To be able to execute really feels good, and to come out with a win against our rival and sister school, I’m proud of all our guys.”

20181015 SHSALSAwarenessWhen her sister-in-law, Gracie Sanchez, died from a neurodegenerative disease a few years ago, Nicole Cruz recalled that watching Sanchez slowly pass away put an emotional toll on her family.

“She basically became completely paralyzed, losing the ability to speak in the end, it was one of her favorite things to do,” Cruz said. “To see her no longer able to talk was devastating.”

Sanchez passed away after being diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig ’s Disease, which attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, rendering most patients totally paralyzed and with a life expectancy of three to five years following a diagnosis, according to the ALS Association.

ST-GOW ART 101918After district realignment in February when football teams found out who they’d be battling against in the fall, one thing was clear: the Sharyland Rattlers and Pioneer Diamondbacks were on a collision course in the chase of the 16-5A DII championship.

Now, in Week 8, both the Rattlers (4-3, 3-0) and Diamondbacks (4-2, 2-0) boast unblemished district records and are set to clash Friday night at Richard Thompson Stadium in the fifth edition of the Snakeskin Classic.

On the line? Pride and the inside track to a district title.

STBig7It’s Week Seven of Valley high school football and the district races are starting to take shape. With only the top four teams in each district qualifying for the playoffs, the time is now for the cream to rise to the top and for the rest to start looking forward to next year.

In District 30-6A, the 3-0 PSJA Bears and the 2-0 Nikki Rowe Warriors are the only undefeated teams remaining. The Mission Eagles, the La Joya Coyotes and the McAllen Memorial Mustangs have all split their two district games for 1-1 records. That leaves the 1-2 PSJA North Raiders and the 0-2 McAllen High Bulldogs and Juarez-Lincoln Huskies all needing to put a string of wins together pretty quickly if they have any aspirations of post season play.

In District 16-5A-2, the Sharyland Rattlers and the Valley View Tigers are both atop the standings with 2-0 records. Nipping at their heels however are the 1-0 Sharyland Pioneer Diamondbacks and the 1-1 Mercedes Tigers. As for the remaining teams in the district, the 0-2 Roma Gladiators and Edcouch Elsa Yellow Jackets and the 0-1 Laredo Cigarroa Toros seem destined to remain at or near the bottom while the top four teams battle it out for the district championship and the remaining three playoff spots.
