Strong fourth quarter rally pushes Lady Rattlers over Austin High

Using a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter, San Marcos toppled area powerhouse, the Austin High Maroons, 45-34, as the Lady Rattlers improved to 4-0 on the year.

In a game that saw San Marcos struggle with their offense in the first half, Head Coach Jermaine Ervin was pleased with the Lady Rattlers ability to not give up or back down.

“I’m proud of the resilience [Lady Rattlers] have,” Ervin said. “We are such a young team so we are up and down. As I was saying, we have to play with effort and emotion but we can’t be emotional. Last year we were really emotional, be it good or bad. When we play with energy, effort and emotion, it drives us. It gives us energy and the purpose that we need.”
