Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Even though they put up a valiant second-half rally against soccer power house Iowa State, Texas Southmost College Scorpion soccer team came up one goal short in the consolation bracket of the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association National Soccer Championship.
The Scorpions traveled to Round Rock Wednesday to participate in the NIRSA National Championship at the Round Rock Multi-Purpose Complex.
They played against Florida State University in pool play. Their second pool match that same day was at 3 p.m. against Cal Poly.
TSC is one of 24 teams from around the country to qualify to the NIRSA National Championships soccer tournament. The 24 teams are divided into eight pools of three teams each. The Scorpions will compete in Pool H against FSU and Cal Poly.

The Scorpions are ranked No. 10 in the NIRSA Regional IV soccer rankings. TSC is the only community college ranked in the Top 10 and consists completely of Rio Grande Valley soccer players that graduated from local high schools, including Scorpions head coach Mario Zamora.
"The Florida and Cal Poly teams were made up with a lot of players from Latin America and European countries," said TSC board president Adela Garza. "Our kids hung in there and nearly caught up with them. Some of the players were near tears and I told them that they should be proud that they had been the only community college to get to that level in the entire country and that were were very proud of them."

And I bet that most of them are products of BISD and their strong soccer program. Of course, we are all very proud of them. Go Scorpions! Go make TSC known throughout.
Adela, why don't you at least provide the names of these fine gentlemen who are putting TSC on the map. Or, get your coach to tell you who they are so you can provide the information, for I can almost bet that you have never been to one of their games. They were used to having their superintendent at every game to back them up. Que paso contigo?
You don’t want Adela at the games... she is bad luck, a loser.
Valley athletes - once they cross Falfurrias, they're toast. Se los chingan gacho siempre y siempre, Juan!!!
Once more stuff comes (and history has shown it will), Trump will bail for medical reasons (he has laid the groundwork), cry like a bitch and his successor will pardon him. He will try to start his own TV network, but everyone will be so tired of him by that time (even his own peeps) and TrumpTV will go the way of many of his other failed endeavors.
Many years ago Mickey Mantle almost hit a ball entirely out of Yankee Stadium (which has never been done). Hundreds of thousands claimed to have been there even though the old stadium held around 57,000 people. When Trump goes it will be just the opposite, zillions of people will have claimed to have never liked him and will disown him. Even Hannity.
What we have learmed is that tainted President Trump AKA individual number one and his administration are corrupt involved in a conspiracy to commit bribery, extortion, fraud, lying, intimidation of witnesses, obstruction of congress and abuse of power. Then we come to find out that the elected GOP members are promoting lies which involve conspiracies promoted by Vladimir Putin of Russia. Not only that Devin Nunes minority Republican Chair on the Inteligence Committee has been identified as involved in this corrupt conspiracy to blame Ukraine instead of Russia as interfering and helping Trump get elected. Now we know why the GOP supports Trump. They have been caught just like Trump has. Best investment Putin has ever made.
Adela Garza is a Republican - only it for herself. VOTE HER OUT!!!!
How did they pass the checkpoint?
Adela, you should also provide the name of who interpreted your message to these young BISD soccer players. I’m sure most of them players no hablan english
See Jim Barton has pretty much copied DP-M's style. Observer looks much like the old Brownsville Republic. LMAO
Trump is guilty of fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, insurance fraud, obstruction of justice, conspiracy against the United States, and sexual assault. He has attacked our allies and praised our enemies. Seven of his aides have been convicted of felonies. He has praised Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Roy Moore. Trump is a criminal president.
That's an accomplishment? Only if your rarely ever have one.
You are really out of touch Anonymous 1:18. She is their most loyal fan and has been to most games including this weekend. My son plays. I sit with her all the time. I never saw the Supt. At our games. Oh yea I did with all her men in a golf cart.
Estupido you mean 1:08 idiota.
The first at the top blogger, where have you been when BISD has won so many state championships! For the 1:18 you must be Sylvia Atkinson tagging along with her. The Supt was there and they boys knew it and always made sure to go great her and thank her. Adela went this weekend to make a show. And while the supt was riding the golf cart at the Supt tournament, they were raising thousands of dollars for scholarships for student who can not pay for their college and neither could their parents!
