After a long and drawn out executive session of the Special Meeting held on Tuesday, Eagle Pass City Council took no action in reference to the personnel issue of filling the position of City Manager vacated by Daniel Valenzuela last October to take the same position in San Angelo. The field of applicants which at one point stood at eight, has now come down to two finalists for the position, Former EPISD Superintendent Jesús Sanchez and Interim City Manager Gloria Barrientos who will be interviewed on June 18th.

Rudy De La Garza has informed The News Gram that Lowe's Home Improvement has graciously offered their parking lot to hold a pep rally to cheer the Eagle Pass Eagles on to victory en route to the State UIL Baseball Tournament. The Eagles are poised and ready to make an historic run to Austin and they need the support of the entire community to do it. The Mighty Eagle Marching Band will be on hand along with the cheerleading squad from Eagle Pass High School to play The Eagle War Cry and motivate our team to victory. Come support our Eagle Pass Eagles Baseball team, be there be early, but by all means, BE LOUD!!! And in the words of Eagle Pass High School Principal Rudy Bowles, Go Eagles Baby! The Eagles are doing a great job of sending off #88 on a well-deserved retirement in style.

Your Eagle Pass Eagles are primed and ready for their 2013 Region IV Final which will be taking place tomorrow against the SA O'Connor Panthers at 7:30 P.M. at the NEISD Blossom ISD Athletic Baseball Complex. The Eagle Pass News Gram caught up to Eagle Skipper Reynol Mendoza who informed us that the Eagles in fact saw their opponents play New Braunfels in an early season Comal ISD Tournament. "We also got to see them on Saturday," added the manager of an agle squad who are on the brink of making Eagle Pass High School Baseball history as being only the fifth team to make it to the hallowed grounds of the UIL State Tournament, "They're a good hitting ball club, their pitcher was throwing in the mid-80's with a good curve and change-up, but if we keep hitting the ball the way we have been in the last two series, things will take care of themselves."
