San Marcos tested itself in a 3-0 loss to Texas’ top dog, No. 1 Lake Travis, on Tuesday night and although the team lost, the players passed head coach Bryan Webb’s test.
Webb rarely gives his team days off. Directly after most games, you catch the team right back in the weight room working on power and strength. During the offseason, they flipped tires, ran, outworked teams and overcame a brutal pre-district schedule against multiple state-ranked opponents. All of it was Webb prepping his team for a district sure to test them. Instead, the Rattlers tested the Cavaliers in a low-scoring pitching battle.
“Like I told them, ‘Any let down for games are on you, ‘cause now you’ve played the top quality, the best of the best in the state of Texas and you know where you’re at,’” Webb said. “This was a test to see really where we were and if our schedule was legit. It proved it was and I’m proud of the way they came out here and battled those guys. That’s a very talented Lake Travis team.”
