Rattlers Strike Early and Often At McCollum

The San Marcos Rattlers took on the San Antonio McCollum Cowboys last night and came out on top 51-0. The Rattler defense pitched its second shut out of the year behind Senior LB Michael Vargas who continues to rack up tackles with 7 total tackles on the night. The defense was able to create two turnovers on interceptions by Nicholas Riddings-Cook and Terry Stennet. The Rattlers were able to hold the Cowboys offense under 40 total yards the entire night.

The offense got on a roll early putting up 37 first half points lead by senior quarterback Prudencio Calderon who had 79 rushing yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries adding another 134 and 2 touchdowns through the air. Eighty-seven of those yards were piled up by senior inside receiver Julian Perez. Junior running back Jamon Johnson did his part adding 82 yards rushing with two touchdowns on only 7 carries.

The Rattlers start district play next week against Austin Del Valle. The Cowboys will travel to the Valley to take on Eagle Pass Winn.
