Mustang Football:

“Our kids are the hardest working kids I have ever been around”

Mustang Football is expecting around 60-65 kids to come out this season. New Head Coach and Athletic Director Jason Reynolds said they will carry 2 teams this season, a JV and a Varsity.
“On day one our energy and effort was through the roof! I felt that our kids did a great job taking what we did over the summer and were able to just continue the work that we have been putting in since the spring,” Coach Reynolds said.
“Defensively, I was very impressed with how fast our kids adapted to our scheme,” Coach Reynolds adds. “Offensively our kids practiced with a lot of tempo, and I loved the amount of communication and accountability I was seeing between players.”

Mustang baseball wins third straight on the road

A home run was hit by Keyshawn Haire, bringing in Jacques and Sonny and making the score 3-0, bottom of the 4th.

On Tuesday Keyshawn Haire was dialed in and pitched six innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. He played a big game the last time he faced Crystal City, so the team probably should’ve seen him coming. As if that’s not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than five strikeouts. This season, Haire has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 2.33 over 27 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.483/0.573/0.733 with 24 RBI.
Haire and Natalia headed out on the road to challenge Cotulla on Friday. Natalia got just the result they wanted…
