San Benito Greyhounds quarterback Dylan Castillo reaches for a touchdown in the waning moments of Friday night’s season finale against the Weslaco Panthers. The TD closed the gap on the Panthers’ lead at 35-34. San Benito went for a two-point conversion for the win on the next snap but to no avail.
WESLACO — There’s no doubt the San Benito Greyhounds left everything on the field on Friday night.
Effort, pride, determination and even tears were all in plentiful supply in the ’Hounds’ final game of the season.
Weslaco was in front 35-28 with a few seconds to go when San Benito QB Dylan Castillo snuck in from a yard out on fourth and goal. The Greyhounds, out of playoff contention, went all in and opted to go for two points and the win; however, a run play was short as the Panthers escaped with a 35-34 win at Bobby Lackey Stadium.

Mr. Editor, Please read the SBCISD Board Agenda for tomorrow… looks like THE FOUR WANT TO SPEND MORE OF OUR TAXPAYERS MONEY! Please investigate…better yet… call that board president lady… maybe you might get a comment… good luck with that
More than that. $700+ per day each, $1400 per day.
Yes Coach had a lot to do with Hounds loses. He is not all in. Kids again outgained their opponent but came out short. Hounds were outcoached not outplayed.
We’re also paying countless dollars on some attorneys to investigate countless allegations. In the end Mr. Limon is gonna own the SBISD. I agree Chris Z. the elections can’t get here soon enough. There is several instances of mismanagement with taxpayer money that this school board can removed as per TEA if petitions are picked up and the case is presented and it clearly shows the waste of tax dollars. Round up the troops!
At the same time, let us also remember that WE, THE TAXPAYERS, ARE PAYING $1,400 A MONTH FOR TWO SUPERINTENDENTS!!!
LET THE SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS BEGIN!!
News, there is a playoff game in San Benito on Friday! Playoffs??? Oh it’s not us but look on the bright side Coach Gantt should be gone soon and just maybe we can find a real winning and experienced coach who is worth the 96k the school district is shelling out. San Benito taxpayers and the Hound faithfuls deserve so much more. Let the coaching rumors officially start!
At the end It was impossible for those guys to find a good cuban cigar
