Rattlers rally in third quarter, but fall to Cibolo Steele

San Marcos put together a strong effort in the third quarter against Cibolo Steele on Tuesday. 

The Rattlers outscored the Knights, 24-14, in the third period. But early-game struggles doomed San Marcos as the Rattlers lost, 79-50, to Steele inside the Snake Pit.

"We got some points and we don’t turn the ball over as much and we got some rebounds," head coach Thomas Acker said of his team’s third-quarter performance. "And so, all of that, I told them if they’re going to hang onto anything from this game, hang on to the third quarter because we went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the district."
