San Marcos wasn’t able to get in rhythm Friday.

It was a historic win for Head Coach Steve Holeman as Texas State defeated the Texas Southern Tigers 4-0 for Holeman’s 300th career win.

I was talking with a few personal trainers and athletic trainers during the past few weeks and the discussion was about the different types of injuries that are caused by participating in sports and activities. It seems each sport has one or two types of injuries that occur more frequently than the usual sprained ankle injury. And some injuries do not happen in sports. I have had flute players and accountants with injuries that required exercises to correct the problem. It just seems that if a person participates in an activity that is repetitive an injury may occur over time. It may start out at a young age with the so-called teenage slouch that will lead to problems as they reach adulthood.

San Marcos is aiming for their first win of the season as the Rattlers host the San Antonio Wagner Thunderbirds in the first home game of the year.

Texas State racked up a number of weekly awards from the Sun Belt Conference following a successful weekend.
