Week 4: Football: United South 23, Martin 20
After experimenting with a new spread offense for their first three games of the season, the Martin Tigers decided to go old school with a surprise return to the double wing formation.
But even the unexpected change of offensive scheme wasn't enough to overcome the hunger of the United South Panthers.
The Panthers had their best game of the season en route to a 23-20 victory Thursday night at the SAC.
South improved to 1-2 in District 29-5A, 1-3 overall. Martin fell to 0-3, 0-4.
"Winning answers a lot of things and all a sudden everything's okay," said United South head football coach Jose Briones. "Whether you win by 50 or one, it's the same feeling."
It took a second half comeback to win it for the Panthers, who trailed 14-10 at the half.
The Tigers had a chance to tie on their final drive, but missed on a 45-yard field goal as time expired.
Camarillo finished the game with 120 passing yards, completing 8 of 21 attempts, in addition to adding two touchdown runs of 19 and 51 yards, respectively.
United South tailbacks Luis Castillo and Paul Lopez shared rushing duties evenly. Lopez had 16 yards and a touchdown on eight carries and Castillo had 33 yards on eight.
Castillo doubled as the team's leading receiver with four catches for 66 yards.
Martin totaled 195 yards of offense on the night, barely outdone by United South's 237.
Tigers senior quarterback Luis Diaz-Deleon completed 10 of 14 passes for 66 yards and a touchdown.
Nearly half of Martin's entire varsity roster touched the ball in the night's game. Ten of the 23 varsity athletes had carries, and an eleventh had a reception.
Tailback Mario Trevino led the Tigers with 32 yards on eight carries a

Week 3: Football: United 61, United South 3
United South hosted United on a waterlogged Friday night at the SAC. But the Panthers were no match for the Longhorns.
United improved to 2-0 in District 29-5A play, 2-1 overall, with a demonstrative 61-3 win.
South fell to 0-3, 0-2 in district.
The Longhorns started senior Joey Zepeda, their backup quarterback, due to Tony Salas sitting out due to a sprained shoulder.
Zepeda was in the zone all night – literally, in the end zone, with two passing and one rushing touchdowns in the first half alone.
Every facet of the 'Horns' game increased the score, though, with Billy Williams' kickoff return and Kurt Kuriata's blocked punt and the following recovery for the touchdown.
The Longhorns' defense also reached paydirt on a last second interception-and-touchdown in the waning ticks of the first half. The extra point attempt was missed in the 'Horns' last two scores of the half, raising the score to 47-3 at the half.
Panthers quarterback Robert Camarillo completed a plethora of difficult passes for huge gains in the first half, but his efforts were for naught due to penalties.
The referees' yellow flags stymied the Panthers from their first defensive play – a spectacular stuffed run for no gain – when a 15-yard facemasking call granted United favorable field position.
Camarillo made smart plays all night long, for the most part. He consistently threw the ball away when pressured, and put the perfect amount of touch on passes when needed, but his performance throughout the evening was blemished by the two interceptions he tossed within the two-minute warning before halftime. One of those picks was returned for a touchdown.
Going into the half, the only points that the Panthers could post would be their first drive's field goal.

09.18.2010: Volleyball: Cigarroa 3, United South 1
Cigarroa had a turbulent week that saw it drop consecutive District 29-5A games, but Saturday afternoon, the Toros looked like the Toros of old.
The Lady Toros beat Southside rival,United South in four games, 25-9, 15-25, 25-9 and 27-25 at the Cigarroa gymnasium.
Cigarroa (5-2 29-5A, 18-11) is two games behind district leader Eagle Pass, which is undefeated in district play, while the Lady Panthers (0-7, 7-14) are still searching for their first win of the district season.
United South had to take the court without its head coach Andrea Pierce-Garza, who is out on maternity leave due to the birth of her daughter, Madeline Jade Garza, who weighs 8 lbs, 13 oz, on Sept. 16.
Jessica Ramirez, the varsity assistant, has been named the interim head coach until the return of Pierce-Garza in a few weeks.
Cigarroa also had to take the court with a new lineup because a rash of injuries and sickness hit the team earlier in the week.
Cigarroa did a great job of adjusting without the service of their starting setters, Raquel Martinez and Dee Dee Riojas.
Stepping in to fill those shoes were senior Michelle Alvarez and junior Sandra Ambriz.
The Lady Toros did not skip a beat with Alvarez and Ambriz at the helm as they set the tone for the game with an overall offensive effort that blitzed the Lady Panthers’ defense all afternoon long.
Alvarez pulled double duty and came through on the offensive end for the Lady Toros.
United South could not find an answer for Alvarez, who had a team-high 12 kills, with five coming in the first game.
Alvarez became an offensive nightmare for the Lady Panthers, along with Deandra Gonzalez and Gloria Morales, who combined for 13 kills.
CIGARROA STATS: Genesis Delgado (13 points, 10 digs), Elizabeth Sanchez (eight points, one kill, eight digs), Deandra Delgado (14 points, six kills, 17 digs), Michelle Alvarez (four points, 12 kills, one block, nine assists, one dig), Sandra Ambriz (14 points, four kills, 11 assists, three blocks), Mara Martinez (five points), Gloria Morales (seven kills, three blocks), Alejandra Reyes (eight blocks) and Vilma Rodriguez (five digs).
UNITED SOUTH STATS: Linda Resendez (17 digs, four points), Ashley Gutierrez (seven assists, six digs), Leslie Campos (eight kills, seven digs), Rohdale Covington (five blocks, five kills), Valerie Nino (five kills, five points), Brandi Molina (10 points).

Week 2 Football: Alexander 46, United South 17
It was supposed to be a shootout, but only one contender brought any ammo.
The Alexander Bulldogs dominated the United South Panthers, 46-17, at the SAC on Friday night in a game where the Bulldogs (1-0 29-5A, 2-0) were clicking on all cylinders.
The spread offense isn't known as a time-of-possession offense, yet it looked like one Friday night. Alexander dominated the clock with a 20 minute advantage in time of possession.
The credit for that belongs in large part to the Bulldogs' defense, which came into its own after giving up 37 points in a 41-37 win over Alice two weeks ago.
United South (0-1, 0-2) only achieved two first downs in the entire first half, and nine by the end of the game. The Panthers were held to 138 yards of total offense.
Alexander, meanwhile, amassed 562 total yards of offense.
The Panthers made it interesting early by tying the game at 7 with an 85-yard touchdown return by speedy return man/defensive back Javier Flores, but they didn't score again until the final minute of the game on a Robert Camarillo pass to Amado De La Fuente.
Camarillo finished the night with 136 of United South’s 138 yards of offense by completing 50 percent of his passes and throwing for a single interception with his lone touchdown.
Bulldogs junior quarterback Brian Swain continued to make his case as the best signal-caller in the district with a standout performance where he did a little bit of everything.
Swain finished the game with 309 passing yards on 26-of-38 passing and four touchdowns through the air, along with 96 rushing yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns on the ground.
Daniel Ramos and J.D. Hinojosa each caught two touchdown passes, all from Swain. Xavier Skaggs rushed for 121 yards on 19 carries.

09.04.10: Martin 3, United South 0
The Martin Lady Tigers broke through a winless district drought that lasted three long years when they swept United South in three games, 26-24, 25-20 and 25-14, on Saturday to claim their first District 29-5A win of the season.
Martin (11-7, 1-2 29-5A) had the momentum from the inception of the game, despite falling behind in the first game, 16-12.
United South (8-10, 0-3) was in the driver's seat and had a 23-21 advantage in the opening game, but the Lady Panthers could not find a way to consistently serve the ball over the net and had a hard time getting their offense going.
Kazandra Blanquez quarterbacked the Lady Tigers in all three games, masterfully distributing the ball among Martin's big hitters.
Martin was led by the offensive attack of AK Valdez, Kim Reilly and Ariana Ramirez, who combined for 21 kills in the Lady Tigers win.
United South never fully recovered from dropping the first game and continued to sporadically put rallies together.
MARTIN STATS: Reilly (six kills, three blocks), Valdez (six kills), Blanquez (two kills, 24 assists, three points), Delgado (four kills, three blocks, one dig, six points), Ramirez (nine kills, one dig, one point).
