RE-PETE

It was nice to be in Roma on Tuesday. It will always have a special place in the history of my life. When I was interviewing for the job almost three years ago I went to watch a boys basketball game in Roma with Wade Baker.

It was my first RGV sporting event. PSJA North boys coach Jaime Gongora even gave me a small pitch as to why I should take the job.

I took the job and the rest is history.

I was in Roma covering the McHi game. I wasn’t keeping the foul total but it was clear McHi had a lot more fouls than Nixon. I don’t think the refs were unfair or that it really was a big deal for McHi. It was what it was.

Valley teams in all sports struggle with officials from out of the valley. Officials in different regions call the games differently. I am sure its not just valley thing.

McHi can be physical and needed time to adjust. This crew in Roma might call things tighether or might not be that good.

McHi figured it out and already had a big lead. Its one of those things that I am sure McHi will just brush off. They have bigger things to look ahead to.

Thursday game to keeo an eye on:

McAllen Memorial at Harlingen South, 7:30 p.m.  … I wonder if this game will be as close as the first time these two met.

 Congrats Coach

I want to congratulate new PSJA Memorial coach Gus Cavazos on his move. I know he wanted to move to Class 5A. Maybe he can turn around that program like he did with Rio Hondo.
