San Marcos is hoping to bounce back in week two against San Antonio Madison.
The Rattlers fell 46-21 to Hutto in a disappointing season-opener for the purple and white. San Marcos will head into their second matchup of the season against the Mavericks looking to wipe the slate clean from week one after being snake bit by penalties and a lack of consistency on both sides of the ball.
“I think it’s just teaching our kids that week one is just a measuring stick to see where you are,” co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Marvin Nash said. “That’s all it is. In the four years in the past that we played for state titles, we were 1-3 in openers, and that’s just where we are. We’re seeing where we are as a team, and then teaching what needs to be taught to bounce back from it. So I think our kids understand that and our coaches definitely do — so we’re (feeling) really optimistic this week.”
