In a new weekly feature, The Eagle Pass News Gram will highlight one player per week for each of our local Fightin' High School Football Teams, The Silver & Black Attack CC Winn Mavericks who will be taking on the Uvalde Coyotes on the road in Week 1 and The High Flyin' Eagle Pass Eagles who will be at home against the Weslaco East Wildcats. First up for either squad are the starting quarterbacks Ty Chisum and Juan Elizondo. First of all Ty, it's an honor for me to be featuring you as I consider your family to be very close to my family and I due to the lasting friendship my father Sammy Ibarra and your grandfather Frank Chisum had, who both had exceptional careers in the glory days of Eagle Pass football under then head coach Cozel Foster. Your granddad played QB back then and your uncle Rick and your father David also started at the same position so I'll begin by asking who your influences are.
UIL issues reprimand, suspensions for Eagle Pass High School Baseball Coach Reynol Mendoza
Press Release
-Austin, TX
The State Executive Committee of the University Interscholastic League has issued Eagle Pass High School coach Reynol Mendoza a public reprimand and a three-year probation for discrepancies in the acquisition of officials during the 2013 baseball playoffs. Mendoza was also issued a suspension for the first six district games of the next baseball season.
The decision stems from last years playoff game against Mission Sharyland High School in the Regional Quarter-Final Championship where the then coach of the Rattlers, Coach Barton Bickerton, filed a formal complaint against Coach Mendoza siting that he did not follow the appropriate protocol in choosing the four umpires for the teams.
Representatives of the Eagle Pass Independent School District were contacted for a statement regarding this issue but as of press time those requests were not answered.
