@Rickyprep @jayplot @ASJSportsATX @colbygordon_ @MichaelAdamsASJ @MikeBarnesMedia First career TD for @VHSFootball alum @milesteo12. He also threw for 2 more.

@Tepper Hate to see scores like this. Piling it on after 50 or 60 points so unnecessary.

I am excited to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at
Colorado State University.

Thank you Coach Michelle Gascogne, Coach Tony Smith, Coach Taylor Gilmore, Coach Jake Long and Colorado State University for giving me this incredible opportunity. I am truly blessed to have the chance to play at such a high level and for a group of such accomplished and talented coaches. It is a huge responsibility to live up to and I will not let you all down.

The Sun Bowl had to find a new sponsor this year. They made a perfect choice @oldelpaso @NCAA

@clarencehilljr Pretty weak on @TCU to suspend the hometown paper in the first place.

Hey @Hunt_Wx Hunter Williams, we needed this in Kyle.

@BeasleyGame @Fchavezeptimes @EPISDathletics Very cool. Enjoying retirement.

[Rick Cantu @Rickyprep]

I’ve always admired the fb stadium at El Paso HS. Notice the bleachers surround only half the field. Something to do with the terrain on the left side. Built in 1916. @EPISDathletics beautiful architecture to the school.

[Rick Cantu @Rickyprep]

Among the coaches for the @LamarUniversity baseball team is former @TexasBaseball and @LampasasHS pitcher @AceWhitehead_ good luck Ace.

@DrewMfr @TheNotoriousMMA Says the man who doesn’t show his face. Smh.

[Rick Cantu @Rickyprep]

@plotwistpro @TheNotoriousMMA Of course he will. Automatic win. Lots of cash.

[Rick Cantu @Rickyprep]

@LocoUno2025 @TheNotoriousMMA You’re too weak to show your face.
