Rattlers look to build off 2021 season, start spring camp

San Marcos spring football is organized chaos.

Head coach John Walsh and company begin their third year in San Marcos following a five-win season and fourth-place finish in District 26-6A — enough to make the playoffs before falling in the first round to Austin Vandegrift. The Rattlers took the field last week for the start of spring ball, looking to build on the success of the 2021 season. 

Compared to the team’s previous beginnings of spring practices, players already knew where to be. To the regular eye, it looked organized but players were so enthused and energetic it came off as chaotic.
