The boys who played for the Monterrey Industrial Little League team in 1957 were so small, averaging 4-foot-11 and 80 pounds, that they could not wear the official Little League World Series uniform of the era.
For those of us who follow football, either with passion or a who-cares attitude depending on the year, college or pro, the story this year about former Cowboys great “Neon Deion” Sanders, now renamed “Coach Prime,” bringing a bowl game to the Colorado Buffaloes looked like a real possibility.
Brownsville Veterans exploded on PSJA North, shocking the Raiders, and most Rio Grande Valley football fans, early and often en route to a dominant 45-28 victory in the Class 5A Div. I regional semifinals at PSJA Stadium.
PSJA North continued on its path through the playoffs by defeating Victoria East 42-7 in the Region IV-5A area round of the playoffs. The Raiders will play Brownsville Veterans in a rematch of last year’s regional semifinals.
“Neon Deion” Sanders is why I no longer gamble. My ability to prognosticate something, sports, horse races, cartel activity, is terrible. Took me too much money to figure that out, although I still like poker. Just not gambling at cards, which takes the fun away.
