Jason Perez, the quarterback for the Rio Grande City Rattlers, was selected to attend the Blue-Grey National Super Combine at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Jason led the Rattlers in both rushing and passing last year, and was recently honored as his team’s co-MVP. In District 31-5a, he was the top rushing quarterback, and he led the district in pass rate percentage. He had 2,557 total yards for the 2016 season with 1625 passing (10 TDS), 900 rushing (10 TDs) and 32 receiving yards.

Jason was selected based on his outstanding season in 2016 and his performance at the BlueGrey National Combine. His head football coach, Aaron J. Garcia said, “Jason is very methodical.

He makes his reads and will take what you give him – pass or run.”

Jason stated, “It’s an honor to have been selected to participate.

Football is all about team, and I give the credit to our team and our coaches for all they do.”

National media including 24/7 Sports, USA Today, Rivals and the Impact Football Network will be in attendance at the Super

the team advancing to Regionals as the Bi-District Champions this year. He is a National Hispanic Scholar and a member of National Honor Society as well as being involved in 4-H, church, and community service.

Based on performances at the Super Combine, players may be selected to play in one of the Blue-Grey National All-American Bowls played at four NFL locations.

“The state is requiring that we start teaching them the method early and this is an excellent skill for them to have to use at home, in their community at large and in the classroom,” explained Cantu.

“I’ve taught CPR to so many adults and children, this is second nature and it has been a pleasure to teach these children this

important skill. I hope they can share their knowledge with their family members as well so we are further positively impacting our community.”

The Broken Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone for part of us went with you, the day that God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

God Took Him To His Loving Home God saw him getting tired a cure was not to be.

He wrapped him in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me.’ He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend. He faced his pain with courage until the very end. He tried so hard to stay with us but his fight was not in vain, God took him to His loving home and freed him from the pain.

We would like to extend our sincerest thanks and heartfelt appreciation for the love and support that we received on the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. The words of condolences, cards, �lowers, food, and prayers offered by family and friends were a great comfort to our family at this time of sorrow. Special thanks to the Retama Manor, Taylor Home Health, and Hernandez Funeral Home.

Hace ya tres años que te fuiste y párese que fue ayer, recordando tu sonrisa nos das una alegría y un nuevo amanecer. Quizás por ser como fuiste estamos aferrados a ti, con nuestros recuerdos sigues estando aquí. Tus hijos te recuerdan por el gran padre y amigo que fuiste, yo te recuerdo como el gran esposo y maravilloso amigo que fuiste. Tu fuiste nuestra tristeza y también nuestra alegría; porque tu nos marcaste a cada uno en nuestras vidas. El amor que tu nos diste nunca lo olvidaremos. Por ser el gran hombre que fuiste en nuestros corazones siempre te llevaremos. Te fuiste sin ningún adiós, pero se que desde el cielo nos cuidas con mucho amor.

“Our Dual Enrollment Academies Program is a two year rigorous program designed for students who know they want to purse a degree within the STEM fields. Our program provides high school students the necessary academic and professional support to prepare them as they transition to a four year institution,” said Dr. Rebecca De Leon, Director of Academies and High School Projects at South Texas College.

“Our students have big dreams, therefore we are here to support

them to get on the right track towards fulfilling those goals,” De Leon said. “We want to ensure they have the funding and preparation necessary upon graduating from our program.”

Since its inception in 2005, the Dual Enrollment Academies Program at STC has had more than 700 students graduate with an Associate Degree weeks before graduating high school, and 12 Academy students have received the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship.

Upon completion of the Academies, 100 percent of students transfer to a prestigious

four year institution. Institutions where Academy graduates have transferred to include Rice University, Cornell University, Stanford, Baylor, UT-Austin, the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley and many others.

“We have many students who continue to meet and pass the rigorous requirements of the program, and still manage to graduate with a two-year degree while maintaining a high GPA. We congratulate these students for their exemplary achievements!” said Nicolás González, Administrator for High School Programs and Services at STC.
