San Marcos fell 31-24 to Laredo Alexander in a back and forth affair that included five lead changes and multiple turnovers throughout the game. Alexander overcame the Rattlers, erasing a 13-point deficit in the second half.
“It [was] a winnable game in the fourth quarter obviously,” head coach John Walsh said. “We got closer to winning it but we didn't we still didn't pull it off. We were struggling still running the ball. We’ve got to run the football better.”
The Rattlers opened up the game with a solid drive by Senior running back Stefan Stennett, who got into the open field and scampered for a 41-yard rush that put San Marcos in Bulldog territory on the second play of their possession. Alexander’s defense stiffened up though, leading to sophomore kicker Julio Alvarado’s first make of the season on a 27-yarder to give San Marcos a 3-0 lead.
