his month we honor the unsung heroes of El Paso, those who might go unnoticed,
whose nature isn’t to brag; they do what they do because their hearts are good and
their good deeds often go unnoticed because humility is their badge. Thus, the cover
story of Coach Eric Palomares from Hernando Middle School in the Socorro Independent School
District. Coach was placed in the right place at the right time and with the right skill set to save a
young football player’s life. When you read the cover story about his heroic efforts, his humility,
you’ll breathe a breath of confidence about the hands you place your children in when they go
to school. Coach Palomares is hailed as a hero for saving the life of one of his players. Read the
cover story yourself and meet the man on page 20.
