Rattlers square off with East Central for final playoff spot
It was a rough night for the San Marcos Rattlers Volleyball team as they fell in the final home game of the year against New Braunfels, 3-0 (25-21, 2516, 25-15).
But the season is not over yet as San Marcos makes the trip down I-35 for the final game of the regular season against the East Central Hornets.
Not only is the showdown with the Hornets the regular season finale, the game will also determine the final playoff spot in District 27.
With San Marcos taking the first game at 3-2, a win over the Hornets will clinch the Rattlers their fourth straight playoff berth.
But a loss to the Hornets will force a needed tiebreaker game to determine the final playoff spot.
Tip-off is at 7 p.m. at East Central High School.
Bobcats shutout by South Alabama.
The Texas State soccer team were unable to nab a point last Sunday as the Bobcats fell to the undefeated South Alabama Jaguars 4-0.
The Jaguar defense kept the Bobcats at bay as Texas State was held to six shots throughout the entire game with two being on goal along with three corner kicks.
The Jaguar offense was just as potent with 13 shots with seven being on goal along with 10 corner kicks.
Bobcats return to play this Thursday for both the final regular season game of the year and the final home game of the year as Texas State hosts Southern Miss.
