20180907 PioneerMatchingBandWoodwindsNow in its 5th year of existence, the Sharyland Pioneer High School Marching Band is preparing for its latest marching band season with what its director is calling a “visually arresting show.”

If you’ve attended a Friday night football game featuring the Pioneer football team, you’ve seen their band performing their latest show “Spiraling into Madness” at halftime. “Spiraling into madness” features music from award-winning composers Frank Ticheli, Eric Whitacre and Samuel Barber.

“It’s an entertaining production,” Pioneer Band Director Arnold Salinas said. “It takes the listener from a happy place to a much darker place at the end of the show. It starts light in an ethereal way with major chords, and then it turns dark quickly. There’s lots of minor chords, very abrasive and the articulation style changes completely from a very smooth and pretty style to a second movement that is accented and sharp, resulting in a darker tonality as the music spirals into madness. You’re going to see it and hear it.”

game of the week -STWhat’s meant to be will always find a way and finally after years apart, the La Joya Coyotes and Sharyland Rattlers, two of the Valley’s most storied programs, are set to clash on the football field for the first time in over 10 years.

“We’re talking about the original school (La Joya), just like we’re the original here,” said Sharyland High Head Coach Ron Adame. “In the past when we were both one schools, we had some close, tough ball games. Those kids at La Joya High, if they’re like our kids, their fathers and mothers graduated from La Joya just like our parents. We’re expecting a good classic shootout with two storied programs that have a lot of pride.”

For La Joya High Head Coach Reuben Farias, the matchup takes him back to the days of the 70s when his father and former Coyote head coach Ruben Eluterio Farias was leading La Joya into games against Sharyland.

20180913 STFootball SPHS vs MHSThe Mission Eagles improved to 3-0 on the season as they defeated the Pioneer Diamondbacks Thursday evening at Tom Landry Hall of Fame Stadium by a score of 21-17.

After trailing most of the game, the now 1-2 Diamondbacks took a 17-14 lead with just under seven minutes left in the game, when sophomore quarterback Eddie Marburger scored a touchdown on a keeper and then connected with junior wide receiver Lavar Lindo for the two-point conversion.

However, the Eagles moved the ball down the field on the ensuing possession and scored the eventual game winning touchdown with 4:42 remaining on the clock on a nice run by Eagles' running back Horacio Moronta.

STCLogoMcALLEN – As a young teen, Rose Benavidez, current STC trustee, recalls traveling with her father, the late Manuel Benavidez, across Starr County looking for support for what was then known as South Texas Community College (STCC) from the community.

Her father had just been appointed as a trustee for the college, and in the summer of 1995, public acceptance for STCC had snowballed in an election that saw voters approve three propositions essential for the college.

“When I was a kid driving around with my father I remember they were having classes in laundromats or they were allowed by school districts to have classes in old libraries,” Benavidez said. “I can recall my very first experience with the college was when I was maybe 15 years old. My father had just been appointed as a trustee at the college and they were going out for their first bond.

20180907 Football JLHS vs SPHS MM--1000Before the Diamondbacks and Juarez-Lincoln Huskies met Friday night at Richard Thompson Stadium, first year Pioneer Head Coach Tom Lee knew it was going to be a dogfight.

After 48 minutes of play between the two teams, Lee was proved right as the Diamondbacks and Huskies fought to the last seconds of their Week 2 non-district matchup with Pioneer prevailing 31-29.

To get there, the Diamondbacks had to overcome a 10-point halftime deficit and seven total turnovers, including five in the first half, to pick up their first win of 2018 and Lee’s first as a head coach in 10 years.
