Why this story #1?

This was a culmination of a historic season for the San Marcos Rattlers Basketball team who set many bench marks during the 2022-2023. Perhaps nothing quite as big as advancing to the Regional Tournament for the first time in 40 years last coming during the 1982-1983 season. Combining with the fact the Rattlers won their first District Championship in over 20 years and breaking the modern day record for most wins in the single season, this makes it our number one story for 2023.

Why is this story #2?

Before the historic First Responder Bowl, this was the game that sent Texas State into the history books. Taking on Georgia Southern, the Bobcats defeated the Eagles 45-24 to cross the sixwin mark for the first time since 2014 to become bowl eligible. The win was the first time Texas State had defeated Georgia Southern since the 2005 win when the Bobcats knocked off the Eagles in the first round of the FCS Playoffs. As the fans stormed the field, the party was moved from Bobcat Stadium to Sewell Park where the historic win was celebrated by jumping into the San Marcos River. Texas State President Kelly Damhousse made a promise that the first time the Bobcats reached six wins he would jump in to the river, which he kept as he was followed by the Director Athletics Don Coryell, Head Coach G.J. Kinne and the majority of the Bobcat Football Team.
