San Marcos has had its fair share of learning curves throughout Conrado Reyes’ first year as head coach.
Tuesday night’s match against Del Valle was another one of those experiences. After playing stingy defense throughout the first half to keep the score tied at 0-0, the Rattlers could not survive the Cardinals’ offensive pressure for the rest of the match, falling 5-0 in regulation inside San Marcos Toyota Rattler Stadium.
“(In the second half) we kind of got out of shape a little bit and it kind of pulled us apart and stretched us apart and we kind of just forgot what (we were) doing back there,” Reyes said. “You know, we've been working on our defense. (It) has been something that we've been trying to figure out right now. It just kind of got stretched out a little bit and they took advantage of it. (They’re a) pretty good team.”
