As if it had never left, football season was back in full force in Greyhound country Monday as receivers ran routes and linemen practiced stances all in preparation of competing in what some are calling the toughest district in the Rio Grande Valley: 31-5A.
The Greyhounds, under the leadership of Head Coach and Athletic Director Spencer Gantt, return six offensive starters and seven defensive players to a team that’s adopted the unofficial motto of “give 100 percent effort.”
Gantt named Jesse Jimenez, a senior, as the starting quarterback. But other key players the community may watch include running back Arturo Coronado, who rushed for over a thousand yards last year as a junior, and linebacker Rene Chavez, Jr.

A safest place is behind your line man . If you can create a perfect squad of linemen who can give you 100 percent eveytime all the time for a QB to throw or clear paths for your runnig backs and gain 31/2 yards in every play you may win all your games aginst the toughest district. But then there is another motto teams swear by “Defense Win Championships” .
