By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter After a fervent bye-week of rehabilitating and strategizing to get ahead of their upcoming Sun Belt opponents, the Texas State Bobcats will return to the gridiron against the battle-tested Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. Battle-tested; however, has come at a cost for Louisiana, suffering a 56-14 loss to the first ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and a 56-10 loss to Mississippi State.

Mondays With Coach Withers: Taking Full Advantage of Bye Week Before Sun Belt

By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter The bye-week in football is a time to sit back and actively rehabilitate while reevaluating where a team stands. Simply sitting back and moving about as usual is a waste of a week to find comfort in discomfort, create new goals, and navigate new opportunities. Head Coach Everett Withers knows the classical coaching truth of bye-week preparation – actively taking time to pave new path’s […]

Bobcats Fall to UTSA… Again

By Reily Chestnut Sports Director Before you read this headline and think to yourself that Texas State football still sucks let me throw them a bone here. Yes, they did lose 25-21 in the Alamodome to UTSA. Yes, the team looked far more competitive compared to last year’s embarrassing 30 point loss in Bobcat Stadium. And of course, the ‘Cats had to try and win after losing their starting quarterback […]

The Rattlers’ Making This District Opener Interesting

San Marcos Rattlers Don’t Strike in San Antonio

By Reily Chestnut Sports Director Looks like another tough one to take home here. The tough call of trying to run the offense mainly through running back Jamon Johnson or quarterback Alex Garcia failed to strike a balance as the Rattlers fell 31-21 in their 2018 district opener at East Central High School. Now four weeks into the season, all I can wonder is when SMHS will find balance in […]

Bobcats Run Down the Road for I-35 Rivalry

By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter There are rivalry games and then there are rivalry games that impact legacy. Intrigue in rivalries can often be built around muddied hyperbole – Saturday’s gridiron showdown between the Texas State Bobcats and University of Texas San Antonio Roadrunners could not carry more implications and less hyperbole.

Mondays With Coach Withers: Managing Heartbreak, Prepping for Rivalry

By Alexander Haynes Sports Reporter Football, much like life, is a line of ebbs and flows, and when the flowing takes a sharp pivot south, the challenge becomes, “reverting back to training.” After leading the South Alabama Jaguars 24-16 at half, the Bobcats were met with a second-half defined by "a lack of rhythm,” an injury to quarterback Willie Jones, and defensive play that gave up one big play too […]

Mondays With Coach Withers: Lightning, Lightning Kicks and A Home Opening Win

The bland sky did not keep the demeanor of the team down, rushing 52 times for 304 […]
