Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
You're right.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
These are all San Antonio and it goes down like into part of South Texas, all the way down to Corpus and all the way down to Eagle Pass.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
So it just kind of like leaves a little pocket for Area G.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
But you have pretty good representation.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
Well, I guess it's mostly San Antonio.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
You have Smithson Valley was area champion.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
You also had Eagle Pass CC win.
Aaron BlackleyPANELIST
Oh, the city of Eagle Pass.
Greg TepperHOST
To lose that game, I think, has major implications for them.
Greg TepperHOST
Big game this week, it's Eagle Pass win to make sure they don't fall to fourth place in that district because if you take a look at the way that the 5A Division I bracket is going to break out, more than likely if you slip to fourth place in that district you're playing McAllen in the first round on the road and McAllen by the way has given up 44 points all season So, like, that was pretty surprising.
Greg TepperHOST
The other one was reported wrong, so I'm not going to waste your time on that.
Greg TepperHOST
Tough week for Laredo Nixon.
Greg TepperHOST
That was one of the games that caught my eye because I think that in 14-5A Division I, there's going to be some shifting.
Greg TepperHOST
There's now a real horse race between Laredo Nixon, Eagle Pass win, even include San Antonio MacArthur and maybe Jay in that mix as well.
Greg TepperHOST
So keep an eye on that one.
Greg TepperHOST
Coming up here after the break, one more break.
Brandon HeretaGUEST
Jack, here in my district, we are the biggest border district in the entire country.
Brandon HeretaGUEST
We go from Eagle Pass all the way out to El Paso, and if you turned on the TV during the Biden border crisis, you saw my district.
Brandon HeretaGUEST
You saw thousands of people huddled under bridges in Eagle Pass.
Brandon HeretaGUEST
You saw the devastation that the border crisis was bringing to all of these small border counties, especially the ones that didn't have the money or the tax bases or the resources to handle all of this stuff.
Brandon HeretaGUEST
And now in Martha's Vineyard, that wasn't a problem.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
Well, I think it would be hard to claim that Donald Trump isn't the reason why crossings are down.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
But I will tell you the way I dealt with border security issues in Biden's the December before his last year in office, I got a call from one of our border members in Eagle Pass who said, Gina, this is the week before Christmas.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
They have shut down the international bridge to all commerce.
Gina HinojosaGUEST
We rely on that commerce to get us through the year.
Matt PollardHOST
live in America.
Irlanne PollardHOST
But then you also mentioned the dealership in Eagle Pass.
Matt PollardHOST
Well, yeah, we had a store in Eagle Pass.
Matt PollardHOST
But people would come...
Matt PollardHOST
They were trying to work in the United States and then live in Mexico, but then they got in trouble from Mexico somehow.
Julia ClaireGUEST
People got rich off of another thing that didn't work.
Erin RyanHOST
In 2023, a body was found stuck to Abbott's Rio Grande buoy barrier in Eagle Pass.
Erin RyanHOST
The buoy barrier in the river was festooned with razor wire.
Erin RyanHOST
The federal government requested its removal.
Erin RyanHOST
What followed was a long theatrical back and forth that had some watchers worried about an unfolding constitutional crisis.
Julia ClaireGUEST
Meanwhile, human beings were caught in the crosshairs.
Julia ClaireGUEST
In January 2024, a woman and her two children, ages 10 and 8, drowned near Shelby Park and Eagle Pass Riverfront Park after the Texas Military Department blocked federal agents from entering.
Julia ClaireGUEST
Human Rights Watch called the deaths avoidable.
Joe RoozHOST
And, you know, you mentioned social media.
Joe RoozHOST
I see, especially here in Eagle Pass, I'm not sure about anywhere else really right now, but there's a lot of local journalism that takes place across the social media platforms.
Joe RoozHOST
Do you think that social media has made journalism stronger or weaker?
John P. DavidGUEST
I don't think it matters.
Jack HerreraGUEST
And today, because there's no water getting past El Paso, or so little water getting El Paso, that really is the headwaters of the Rio Grande that we know in South Texas.
Jack HerreraGUEST
And anywhere from Eagle Pass to Laredo to Brownsville to Boca Chica, that is where the water's coming from.
Jack HerreraGUEST
It is coming from its Mexican tributaries, especially in Chihuahua, this Rio Conchos.
Jack HerreraGUEST
And what's happened in the last couple decades, and especially in the last six years, is that Mexico has been keeping that water in its own reservoirs.
Jim PriceHOST
So that's where J.D. Vance is going to.
Jim PriceHOST
That's that Eagle Pass reference where we had a lot of the border crossings.
Jim PriceHOST
And is that is that in the right area? Is that the same thing?
Zach KraftGUEST
Yeah, it's right there along the border on the eastern side of the state, kind of the Gulf of Mexico and then along the border.
Kyle ThomasGUEST
So you don't have to go nuts at the merch table, but supporting the bands at the merch table is 100% the most critical way that you can help the scene survive.
JamesHOST
I always mention that Every interview or wherever I can a radio a radio station here in Eagle Pass, Texas Support your band, you know visit the merch booth If you don't have money, you know, pick up a koozie pick up a pick or something a t-shirt.
