The Blue-Grey All-Star Combine is returned to El Paso for the second straight year on Saturday

The Blue-Grey All-Star Combine took place at Hanks High School’s Excalibur Stadium, where scores of high school athletes turned out to challenge themselves via the timed and recorded events.

Our very own Johnny Yturales was on hand and we bring you his view of the event via this gallery.

It’s year two for the El Paso Herald-Post/TownTalk Sports High School Football Digital Magazine.

The brainchild of our Chief Photographer Andres ‘Ace’ Acosta – whose work you see from the sidelines each and every year – this DigiMag serves to highlight the players, coaches and schools from throughout our region.

The DigiMag has previews of each team, highlights on key players, a word or two from the coach and the 2019 season schedule.

This year’s edition will debut in late August.  To view last year’s digital magazine, click here.

To hear more, in-depth interviews with the coaches and to hear individual games from around the area, head on over to our partners at TownTalk Sports and select your favorite team.  You can listen to the game broadcasts via any web-enabled device.

Amidst grandstands packed with fans dressed in Columbia blue and red, the Socorro Bulldogs took on the Parkland Matadors for their homecoming game Friday night. 

With the stands filled with proud community members, the atmosphere was electric, even before the players stepped onto the football field. 

It was against this backdrop that the Bulldogs began the game strong, despite missing some key players on defense due to injuries. However it was a tough match, as they went down on the scoreboard early; but the determined Bulldogs weren’t going give up without a fight.

Senior Alex Olivas put Socorro on the board with a nice run from inside the Parkland 10 yard line. He later added a second score after securing a nice strike from Junior QB Jacob Luna.

The spark was no match though for the fast-paced Matador offense, as the Bulldogs fell 55-21.

“Scoring two touchdowns tonight sets the pace for my season, the team is putting their all and are never giving up,” Olivas stated. “The season is long and there’s always time for improvement.”

Andres Acosta was at a couple of the best high school football games Friday night:  El Paso High kicking off their Centennial Football year vs Cobre (NM) and two of the area’s best teams facing off at the newest stadium: Eastlake vs El Dorado at the Socorro ISD’s SAC.

Enjoy the views!

The T-Birds flew East to the high desert, only to be shot down by the home-standing Montwood Rams 26 to 0. Our very own Andres Acosta was there and here is his view in today’s Story in Six Pics.
