SAN ANTONIO — Let's hear it for the new guy.
In the case of San Antonio high school football, the "new guy" is Sotomayor, which will play its first year of varsity football this fall.
Head coach Juan Morales knows the challenge that awaits his Wildcats, but he’s preaching to his team that the pressure should be on their opponents instead.
“I flipped the expectations and basically said the pressure is on everybody else to beat us,” says Morales, who comes over from Holmes. “Because that’s what everybody else expects.
“For us, we’re going to go out, we’re going to have fun, we’re going to compete.”
As part of the growing pains at Sotomayor, the Wildcats have not one senior on their current roster. The silver lining to the new program's situation: There's plenty of room for players to step up in competition.
“Making sure our fundamentals are (solid), making sure we’re all on the same page,” adds Morales. “And No. 1 is to have fun.”
