San Marcos (0-8, 0-5 district) comes into the last two weeks looking to go 2-0 in its final two games on the season. The Rattler seniors will play their final home game this week against a Smithson Valley team still looking to squeeze into the playoffs with wins in its final two games.
The Rangers have dropped back-to-back games, including last week’s 35-10 loss to Cibolo Steele in Spring Branch. The Rangers are looking to break even at 3-3 with a win this Friday using their ground attack. San Marcos head coach Mark Soto said the Rangers run the ball very well and can play-action out of it.
“Offensively, they put you in some formations that can give you issues defensively if you don’t get aligned right and keep your gap integrity,” Soto said. “Defensively, they just run to the ball. They’ve always done it. It’s a part of their personality. It’s ingrained and embedded in them probably from seventh grade on and they just do a great job running to the ball.”
