The Eagle Pass Eagles kicked off their 2013 District 29-AAAAA schedule and had to do so in their road whites as they traveled to Laredo to face Brian Swain and the high-powered Alexander Bulldogs.
The highly experienced senior signal caller was firing on all cylinders as he proceeded to throw the ball effectively down the field to score their first of four aerial TD's on a Swain pass to another well-traveled wideout Marc Losoya on a 23 yard strike with a little over 9 minutes remaining in the first quarter.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Bret Bielema watched plenty of Johnny Manziel before he ever thought about pursuing the Arkansas job.
While at Wisconsin last season, Bielema saw the Texas A&M quarterback from afar as Manziel ran circles around the Southeastern Conference — all the way to the Heisman Trophy.
The first-year coach of the Razorbacks will have the opportunity to witness Manziel in person on Saturday when Arkansas (3-1) hosts the Aggies, who are making their first trip to Razorback Stadium since 1990.
Bielema can only hope the Razorbacks fare better in their second go-around again Manziel than they did in their first — a 58-10 drubbing at the hands of Texas A&M (3-1, 0-1 SEC) last season. The quarterback accounted for 557 yards of total offense (453 passing, 104 rushing), a coming-out game in a season-long, coming-out party for the talented signal caller.
Former EPHS Cross Country Standout Finding Success at Texas State
For Joseph Pena, the road to San Marcos has been long and winding, much like the cross country courses he traverses on a weekly basis. But the former local standout has finally found a place to call home at Texas State University.
Pena is making the most of his opportunity, posting impressive times in the first two meets for the Bobcats. Pena posted the best time amongst his teammates at the Bear Twilight race in Waco on August 30. He finished with a time of 14:44.6, good enough for 27th place in a field that included runners from Baylor, Texas A&M, and Houston.
Texas State’s second meet took the team to Houston and the Rice Invite, on the campus of Rice University. Again, Pena led the way for the men’s team with a time of 17:47. Again, his time was good enough to best the top runner from the University of Houston, Texas A&M, and McNeese State.
Still, Pena has not forgotten his Eagle Pass roots, and he always keeps an eye on home. Pena is especially grateful to EPHS coach Juan Gonzalez,
The rest of the Bobcat team is made up of Weston O’Donnell, Joseph Rodriguez, Gabriel Rodriguez, Alec Saucedo, and Justin McMillin. The Bobcats’ next meet is this Friday, September 27 at the Islander Splash, hosted by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
