Before Texas State embarked on its recent three-game road trip, junior forward Joel Wright pledged a change to head coach Doug Davalos.
“I told Coach Davalos, ‘The second half of the season is ours,’” Wright said. “‘Whatever happened in the first half is over.’ I’m a man of my word.”
Judging how the Bobcats’ first 18 games went, Wright’s proclamation couldn’t have been too far off. Through those games, Texas State was 4-14 and had a nine-game losing streak to its credit.
Then something happened. Wright took over.

There’s no time like the present for Texas State to turn it around.
As the Bobcats enter the second round of play in the Western Athletic Conference, they’re 1-8 and lost nine out of their last 10 games. If Texas State is going to fight its way out of the cellar, a win tonight at New Mexico State would do wonders for Zenarae Antoine’s team.
Earlier this season, the Aggies handed the Bobcats a 61-58 loss inside Strahan Coliseum. It was Texas State’s second consecutive loss after a game-winning shot by senior guard Diamond Ford went awry.

San Marcos Academy boys’ soccer team set a school record with Tuesday night’s 3-0 win over Austin-Hyde Park, improving the team’s record to 15-0-1 on the season — the longest unbeaten streak in school history.
Cole Williams, Enrique Galan and Alex Hasegawa each posted a goal in the shutout, with assists from John Nguyen, Frankie Osby and Carl Rindahl.
“We work hard and we work like a team, no matter what,” Galan said. “I love playing soccer at SMA because it is similar to soccer in Mexico. The competition level is high and we work well together.”


Outdoors: Squeezing in the last duck hunt of the season

Last week was the last hurrah of a long duck season. The closing of the season is a sad time for me. My life radically changes.
No more 4 a.m. alarm clock settings. No more camo clothes. No more trying to be invisible lying in short dry grass. No more duped quacks with wings cupped dropping into the decoys.
Late-season duck hunting is tough. The birds have been shot at from Canada to Texas. They have seen every type of decoy spread and duck calls sound like a warning siren. In short, they have become very educated. To get them, the hunter has to become more clever.
