-Eagle Pass

 

In a new weekly feature, The Eagle Pass News Gram will highlight one player per week for each of our local Fightin' High School Football Teams, The Silver & Black Attack CC Winn Mavericks who will be taking on the Uvalde Coyotes on the road in Week 1 and The High Flyin' Eagle Pass Eagles who will be at home against the Weslaco East Wildcats. First up for either squad are the starting quarterbacks Ty Chisum and Juan Elizondo. First of all Ty, it's an honor for me to be featuring you as I consider your family to be very close to my family and I due to the lasting friendship my father Sammy Ibarra and your grandfather Frank Chisum had, who both had exceptional careers in the glory days of Eagle Pass football under then head coach Cozel Foster. Your granddad played QB back then and your uncle Rick and your father David also started at the same position so I'll begin by asking who your influences are.

This season I'm trying to perfect the new offense under new offensive coordinator Javier Cardenas, but my influences are my Dad, Colin Kaepernick and Cam Newton. I'd like to give credit to my linemen. They do a lot of work to make me successful. What are your goals this season? My goals are to first make the playoffs and go deep as well as winning the District Championship. Who's your favorite NFL team? The 49ers. College team? Texas What's your favorite play? Left Trips Stick Double Right Backside Wild. It has tons of options and reads. All my receivers are moving. Give me your career highlight. It has to be the pass to RJ Gomez last year to ice the win against United. What are your plans after Graduation? I'm looking to play college football or baseball if I can. Major? I like science, so something in the science field. Finally, give me some advice to a seventh grader starting football. Be patient. The game speeds up and you'll get the hang of it. Keep playing the game. The more you practice, you'll get better. Next up is Mav QB Juan Elizondo, the brother of Ex- Mav Captain and two-sport star Jon Elizondo. Who are your influences? My brother Jon, he was strong, he was a team leader, I love him and miss him a lot. also RG III (Redskin QB Robert Griffin III) He's a running quarterback, a playmaker, very smart and optimistic and a positive role model. What are your goals for this year? Winning the District Championship, making the playoffs and leading my team to victory. What's your favorite subject? Reading. Favorite NFL team? The Houston Texans. NCAA team? Ohio State. What's your favorite play? 136 follow. Give me your career highlight. I would have to say it would be returning leading tackler for the Mavs last year. My highlight of the season has to be when I flipped Del Rio quarterback Jorge Fernandez. That was awesome! Plans after graduation? I'd like to play college ball and major in Criminal Justice. I'd like to work for the US Border Patrol one day. What would be your advice to a seventh grader just starting football? Stay humble. Stick tighter as a family and work hard. Hard work pays off, believe me and it transfers to the field. Never be satisfied and 'Winn the Day!' Go Mavs!
