2-6-2020 Perfectly Paired Pirate Pen Pals

Lytle Varsity Football players took on a special Pen Pal project with third grade students at Lytle Elementary. At Lytle ISD teachers at all levels find creative ways to inspire students to read and write more, and that includes head football coach, R.T. McConathy. Not only did hundreds of written letters go back and forth between campuses, but football players made weekly visits to the elementary to greet students as they arrived at school. Players would make the most of those visits by spending time with their third grade Pen Pals, playing learning games, and encouraging each other. The football players enjoyed being leaders and mentors, and the third graders got to know their Friday Night Lights heroes a little better. Watch the video to see and hear for yourself how all the students involved got TONS of writing practice in, and LOVED every minute of it.

11-8-2019 JV Football vs. Marion

November 7th, the Pirate defense led by Joseph Araujo, Malakai Castro, and Cecil Olivarri, were able to create a 3 and out on the opening offensive drive for Marion, which gave the ball to the offense just 2 minutes into the 1st quarter. As it has been all season long, the very first play of the game has been a bubble screen, double pass that has a completion rate of 100%; it was completed last night from Collin Aldridgeto Malakai Castro who passed to Darren Martinez, in which Martinez scampered down the sideline for an opening play 60 yard Touchdown pass to give the Pirates the early lead, 6-0. A 2 point conversion was attempted after an offsides call, which was successful, so the lead went up to 8-0 Pirates.

11-8-2019 7th Grade Football at Marion

Last night, November 7th, your Lytle Pirates 7th Grade Football team traveled to Marion, to play the Bulldogs losing 6-22. The lone touchdown was scored by Luke Estrada. Other outstanding players, are the Ankle Biters defensive linemen known for their small size under 5’ tall and under 80 lbs. And their lightning fast speed Tristan Lopez, Robert Inming, Matthew Soto, and Malichi Rubio. They caused mayhem in the back field. Once again Coach Clack and myself would like to thank the Lytle Junior High staff and faculty for all the great help you have given this football season.
