A threat of showers along with hot, muggy weather did nothing to deter the Port Isabel faithful from packing the home side of Tarpon Stadium Friday night for their beloved squad’s home opener. With the type of winning season the team had in 2013, it’s little wonder why the Laguna Madre community – as well as Texas high school football followers – is abuzz about this year’s squad.
Beginning the season with a 2-0 record after last week’s victory over Rio Grande City, local football fans don’t expect to be let down this year and are finding their team a source of pride and inspiration as indicated by fans’ comments to the PRESS during last Friday night’s game.
