According to police, the man had been living at the home there in Lytle, where the young girl was injured. Things continued to escalate as he fled down the street on foot.
The suspect then broke into another home in the area where the homeowner …LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

The Natalia Lady Mustangs dropped two more games this past week, one in five sets to Crystal City and then another in three to Devine.
Although they fought valiantly, the Javelinas withstood Natalia’s big offensive night from Ralynn Juarez who dropped a whopping 28 assists and surpassed 700 careers assists that night.

It’s never a matter of if, but when with the Lytle Pirates. The black and gold rally back with an overwhelming victory over the Poteet Aggies, 58-33. The Homecoming night was capped off with their first district win of the season and head coach Mike Trevino couldn’t be prouder of the kids after the bounce back win. 
“The last few weeks have tested us, and our kids could’ve allowed those moments to define them, but they didn’t. They kept showing up, kept believing, and kept fighting for each other.,” Trevino revealed. “To come back home, on Homecoming, with our community behind us and find a way to get our first district win—that meant a lot.”
We saw a peak of just how potent this offense is during the Legacy Bowl and to come out the next game to drop 58 speaks to how explosive the Pirates can be when everything is clicking. Trevino said he is starting to see the team play with confidence and belief again. They’ve always had the belief to make big plays and  now that the trust is setting in, the offense is…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

The Natalia Mustangs fell to the surging Devine Warhorses last Friday, 62-6. The Mustangs are now 1-1 in district play as they head into this week’s bye. A tough loss for Natalia, but head coach Jason Reynolds made sure to sing the praises of the Horses and their head coach Jacob Campsey.
“I want to give Coach Campsey, his staff and his kids a lot of credit. They are a very talented group and Coach Campsey and his staff have done an outstanding job,” Reynolds said. “As far as my initial reaction to the game is that we came out flat and just could never get anything going and that is on me as the head coach.”
The Mustangs had dropped 50+ points in their last two games ahead of their Devine matchup. They were able to move the chains down field but struggled to convert on those drives. Reynolds kept it short and simple with the areas the offense needed to improve in.
“We just have to do a better job of…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.
