__________________________________________________________

Miracle at Donna (Working Title) is an American sports film.

In 1961, Donna High School in Donna, Texas, one head coach Earl Scott,
was not influenced by a common racism that still existed and treated
every team member equally resulting in inspiring his team to the State
Championship.

A miraculous story of a very special group of young men who overcame
every unimaginable obstacle and a town that overcame racial barriers
sooner then the rest of the country, this was a result of a couple of
very special coaches and trainers, and town that saw deeper and who
saw no color, just players.

While South Texas has not seen another State Championship since 1961,
Head Coach, Earl Scott, and his 18 member team of Hispanics and Whites
have become legends amongst the sports fans in the community.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
