AREA ROUND FEATURES

SAN ANTONIO — Last week, the Edinburg High Bobcats showed exactly why games are won on the field and not through any kind of verbal engagement. Outside of the Bobcats community, very few if not any thought Edinburg could pull off what some were calling the improbable.

All signs just seemed to be pointing in Brownsville Hanna’s direction. The Golden Eagles had everyone convinced they would roll by after winning nine straight en route to the District 32-5A crown.

AREA ROUND GAME DAY PREP MATERIAL

With seven Valley teams left in the playoffs this week there was some talk around the office.

Many believed that six Valley teams would still be alive after this week, a very large number for this time of year. But there was also some thought that this was pretty much the end for Valley football — save the Sharyland-Edinburg North game, of course.

I don’t subscribe to either approach, but rather believe that there will be some Valley squads playing next week.

Here’s the way I see Round 2 going this week:

EDINBURG — Finding bulletin board material in the Internet age isn’t very difficult. Edinburg High junior linebacker Ciro Reyna says his teammates have found a wealth of it and are using it for motivation as they prepare to take on Del Rio in Saturday’s Class 5A Division I area playoff in San Antonio.

“Some of their guys on MySpace are talking about how this is just going to be another game for them,” Reyna said.
