San Marcos will travel to San Antonio in their final week of the season to take on East Central.
The Rattlers came out on top of last year’s contest 28-16, pulling away from the Hornets in the second half to secure the purple and white’s first win in 2021. Senior running back Jaidyn Brown had his first explosion of the season against East Central, rushing for 173 yards on 17 carries with three touchdowns.
Joe Hubbard’s Hornets are coming off a 7-5 overall record and a 4-3 record in district play during 2021. East Central also won its first playoff game since 2012, and earned its first berth since 2015. East Central will have to overcome graduating 16 senior starters though — they return only three starters on offense and defense respectively.
