Rattlers hand Central Catholic first loss in 80-62 win

San Marcos handed San Antonio Central Catholic its first loss of the season as the Rattlers cruised to an 80-62 win in an all-snake mascot matchup.

Rattler head coach Dan Miller said eliminating turnovers during the first quarter pushed the Rattlers towards the win.

“When we take care of the ball and play low turnover basketball, we are really good,” Miller said. “In the first ten minutes of the game, we were not doing that. We were making some poor decisions and turning the ball over. Once we got focused and locked on that, we were really good so I’m proud of the win. This was a really good opponent and we have a lot of respect for them. They are going to have a good season but tonight we rose up to win.”
