Rattlers fall to Judson after Rocket’s offense fuels second half push

The Rattlers weren’t able to get things going in the second half Friday.

San Marcos fell 48-16 to Judson after the Rockets won the second half, 28-7, after a closely contested first half of play. The Rattlers had the lead on the Rockets in the second quarter, but the Rockets went on a 14-0 run before halftime to take a 20-9 lead and never looked back.

San Marcos opened the game with something they’ve honed in on throughout this season– getting senior wide receiver Tony Diaz the ball in space. He was the creator of the Rattlers first big play of the game, taking a screen pass from deep in the Rattler’s own territory to Judson’s side of the field. The Rocket’s defense bowed up though, forcing a punt after an unsuccessful third and long.
