The scheduled route of departure for the team is after the 8 a.m. pep rally on Thursday, from the San Benito High School parking lot down Oscar Williams Road, with a right turn onto Business 77 to Sam Houston Blvd. with a right turn to the Expressway. Departure time for the team from the high school is set for 9:30 a.m.
