Texas State couldn’t overcome a late second half cold shooting streak as the Bobcats dropped their fourth straight game losing to the Marshall Thundering Herd 79-75.

San Marcos got off to a hot start as the Rattlers defeated the Laredo United South Panthers 62-52.

For the dedicated runner the weather does not prevent them from getting their run in. Most have the proper clothes to wear whether it is cold, rainy, or cold and rainy. For the rest of the running group an indoor alternate is often a welcome choice. While most will allow a good workout there is always a limit to the benefit of getting outdoors for a run. And the type of exercise unit you use has different benefits and disadvantages. Choosing the indoor method of exercise can be the first step in getting a workout. The standard fitness exercises without any machine include running in place and skipping rope. The only negative side of these two forms of exercise are with runners living in a second or third floor apartment and having complaints from the person living on the floor beneath you.

One of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of Texas State is coming back home to San Marcos.

Winter dove hunting is usually feast or famine. Places that you hunted in September that helped lots of birds may be mute. By December there is much less food available for the doves to feed. Most milo maize fields and corn fields have long been plowed under. But if you can find a field full of seeds, you may find doves in abundance.

Entering the new year, both the Rattlers(18-6) and the Lady Rattlers (164) have their sights set on making deep playoff runs following their impressive non-district records.

San Marcos wrapped up 2023 with their annual Holiday Classic from Dec. 28-30, winning a share of a three-way tie between the Rattlers, Cypress Bridgeland and Trinity Christian Academy for first place in the tournament.

The dream season is continuing on for the San Marcos Rattlers as they are advancing to the regional semifinals on Friday March 3 against San Antonio Warren from the Northside Gym in San Antonio.
