The Rattlers weren’t able to get things going in the second half Friday.

I was reading an article about keeping a person’s running and walking interesting and fun. One of the suggestions was to change to a different route than the usual routine. I recall one of my favorite runs was along the river walk. It was a mile away but the two miles along the river and trees was worth the extra mile. Another suggestion was to add some hills to the route. I was fortunate to live in a neighborhood that had several hills within a few blocks of my home. Some were long gentle hills and others were steep and short. Then I had different routes for distance. The shortest was three miles and the longest was 13 miles with a good number in between the two extremes. It was a choice I made depending on how I felt and how far the run was yesterday. The variety made it much easier to go on a daily run.

With seven games underneath their belt, Texas State will finally catch a break as the Bobcats head into their bye week.

Following their bye week, San Marcos Academy was back on the gridiron as the Bears notched their third victory of the season over the Austin Royals JV team, 49-0.
