Head football coach John Walsh admits he didn’t know what to expect in his first spring in San Marcos.
Walsh didn’t know Del Valle was a town when he arrived either, and with COVID-19 intruding during the coach’s first offseason, he had to wait around to really see what his team would look like against the district. After the team fell short of some of its season goals, Walsh and the players knew what they needed to work on heading into the spring. After a month of practices and skill development, the Rattlers started to find some strengths and they appeared in the Purple and White Spring Game inside San Marcos Toyota Rattler Stadium on Thursday.
Walsh’s Purple team knocked off quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator Lee Vallejo’s White squad 24-23 after an eventful close to spring workouts. The whole time they focused on having fun after evaluations but they still had to find time to talk a little smack to each other.
