Rattlers come up short against New Braunfels

Third quarters have been San Marcos' achilles heel during district play. And unfortunately for the Rattlers that trend continued on Friday against New Braunfels. 

Despite a third-quarter letdown, San Marcos battled back to get within four points in the fourth quarter. But the Rattlers fell short against the Unicorns in a 66-60 loss inside the Snake Pit. 

“We just, for whatever reason, we start flat (in the third quarter), do silly things like turn the ball over, just silly turnovers, then we get out of sorts and sometimes take rushed shots, which leads to transitions,” head coach Thomas Acker said. “Believe it or not that third quarter was better than our previous two third quarters.”
