AUSTIN — The promise for head coach John Walsh and San Marcos is complete.
After making a deep 2017 playoff run, San Marcos went 4-25 over the next three seasons combined, missing the playoffs every year. Two-time state champion head John Walsh took over the program in 2020 and is no stranger to turning teams around, building his former school, Denton Guyer, into a state powerhouse from the ground up.
After a loss to New Braunfels in the 2021 season opener, Walsh made a promise to his team and the Rattler community that he would not let them miss the postseason. All eyes locked onto the purple and white over the next nine weeks — and they answered.
