HARLINGEN — Cardinals offensive coordinator Robert Fraga has football down to a science.

Literally.

The AP physics teacher at Harlingen High School is in his 15th year coaching football and first as OC for his alma mater, the Cardinals.

Fraga was raised on one philosophy: hard work pays off.

From his parents to his coaches at Harlingen, Fraga's used his upbringing to get ahead in life.

And whether it's teaching in the classroom or the practice field, Fraga instills the same work ethic and values to his students and athletes.

RIO HONDO — The Rio Hondo Bobcat defensive line is made up of characters.

They’re also pretty good football players.

The personable group will look to be on its game Friday when the Bobcats visit Sinton in their Class 3A Division-II bi-district matchup.

The foursome consists of end Freddy Gonzalez, Manny Melendez, Randy Rodriguez and end E.J. Castaneda. Gonzalez and Castaneda are sophomores.

RIO HONDO — The Rio Hondo Bobcats didn’t want to lose.

Neither did the La Feria Lions.

But in the end, the Cats fought off a feisty La Feria team to win 21-14 and grab the final playoff spot in District 32-3A in the Valley Morning Star’s Game of the Week on Friday night.

“It’s awesome. I knew we could get to the playoffs with these guys,” a jubilant Rio Hondo head coach Rocky James “It was just a matter of getting everything to come together and they were awesome tonight.”
