San Marcos finally got the taste of football back Friday evening.
The Rattlers traveled to Jourdanton and matched up with Laredo United South for the second-straight season in a scrimmage — a key part of both team’s preparation for the regular season. While head coach John Walsh isn’t the biggest fan of scrimmages overall, he sees the value in lining up against someone other than your teammates and playing live 11-on-11 snaps prior to the start of their schedule.
“You know, I’m not a big fan of scrimmages,” Walsh said. “They are a necessary evil because you want to get good work, but you want to be healthy for week one. The good thing is we came out 100-percent healthy and we got good work. I want to keep scrimmaging United, just because they come off the ball, they run a good outfit and they make us better each time. I think we got better last night.”
