From the Coach: It sure is good to get the first one. Now the pressure is on Mathis and our kids should play more relaxed tomorrow. Let's give Mathis credit, we had to earn everything we got tonight. A big triple by D.C. Salinas helped push us over the hill tonight. Bobby Gomez showed South Texas why he is one of the best around and our seniors lead this team to victory. Tomorrow we travel to Texas A&M Kingsville for game 2 and a chance to advance past area for the fifth time in the 90's.

From the Coach: What a game and what a series! The good Lord was smiling on us tonight and several key role players did an outstanding job. What a job by Mario Chavera and with a one run lead it was an easy decision to bring Bobby in the 6th and 7th to close it since he had stuck out 15 the night before. The play of the game was made by catcher Robby Regalado as a pass ball was recovered by a hustling Robby Regalado and a strike was thrown to Bobby covering home to stop the tying run from scoring. The game ended with a short hop grounded hit to 3b D.C. Salinas tagged the runner coming from second to third. The runner tried to avoid the tag but a stretching tag by D.C. ended the game just like it did in '91 in the state championship game. We now play the winner of the Hondo vs Hidalgo series next Friday and Saturday at a site t.b.a. CONGRATULATIONS BIG GREEN FOR WINNING AREA! LET'S GET READY FOR THE QUARTER FINALS!
