SAN ANTONIO — San Marcos caught the injury bug.
After Friday night’s 35-34 loss to San Antonio Holmes (2-0), head coach John Walsh read off his play sheet out loud. The card had seven names on it, all skill position players who were hurt and had to miss time at some point in the last two weeks. In the end, the durability of the team might’ve cost it a chance to grasp its first win of the season. Instead, Holmes outscored San Marcos (0-2) 14-6 in the second half, stealing the Rattlers’ hope right from their hands.
“It’s no fun being 0-2,” Walsh said. “I hate it for them because, you know, when you’re trying to change the culture and you’re trying to get that winning mentality, it’s hard to keep painting that picture when you’ve never seen winning. But I’m gonna keep painting it, and we’re gonna keep going and we’ll get some kids back and we’ll be alright.”
