WACO — There is only one word necessary to describe the San Marcos Academy’s football team, cheerleaders, band, and fans: family. The whole family was out to support the team from the moment the players boarded the bus on Thursday. The community sent the bus off in style with cheering fans and an escort from the Hays County Sheriff’s department down Ranch Road 12. Bear Country’s residents were state-bound, and Waco ISD Stadium was the destination.
San Marcos Academy previously won an 11 man TCAL football championship in 2015. This year’s six man team was up against TAPPS competition, and the opponent was even stiffer.
Opposite the Bears in the TAPPS Division I state championship was the undefeated Houston Emery/Weiner Jaguars. The Jaguars were undefeated for a reason. They were the most athletic and well-coached opponent the Bears faced this season.
