William Clark Green never considered a professional career in music. He didn’t even consider himself a musician until someone told him he was. But during his junior year at Texas Tech University, he just happened to be classmates with Josh Abbott’s drummer. Back then, before Josh Abbott was Josh Abbott, the Josh Abbott Band was playing a weekly Tuesday night gig at the Blue Light in Lubbock.
“I was thinking of starting a band at the time and I asked if I could go watch one of their rehearsals to see how it went and if I could learn something from it,” Green said.

It seemed as if whenever San Marcos needed a pitcher to secure an important win, especially in district play, Colin Gonzales stepped up.

Then again, once the Rattlers had men on base and it was a close game, Elijah Perez roped a big, run-scoring hit.

Not to be discounted, a ton of other players helped pace San Marcos to a 22-win season and its most district wins (seven) since returning to Class 5A in 2010. That’s why coaches in District 25-5A honored the Rattlers with a plethora of awards.
