Family-friends-and Mustangs made her day!
She has gone to heaven!
Mother- Damn this sux! But your in a better place ππππ

So you have been around Gundy for years when he interacts with young men of all backgrounds?
A tshirt doesnt over shadow the impact he has made on 1000s of lives of all colors! This is where the left is NUTS!

Who in the hell- in their right man would do this to an animal off CR 664 outside of Devine-Natalia!
I know the owner of this dog well and he is a great man. I am shocked someone would do this!
So she had no clue....
This tells the story of how much
@NataliaSports
Athletics means to my mother and how much they appreciate true life-long fans like my mom.
Thank you

Scary how many coaching positions are open across the state still.....
Pay... stress... parents... select ball know it-alls.... lack of admin support in some districts... politics... on and on and on..
Reasons why coaches are getting out.
Prayers for the Pleasanton Community. ππ¦ π
They lost a really stellar Superintendent today!
God Bless the Family of Dr. Mann!
At the young age of 49! Such a tragedy- we may never understand.
He was a great man to know and a great leader for Pleasanton ISD.
I am at a loss for words: Thank you
@NataliaSports
@IlyanMartinez
Staff and Athletes.
You made my mother who is in her final days- feel super special today!
You went above and beyond to encourage someone who has cheered on Natalia since the 1960s.
Thank you- Thank you- Thank you
π¨SUPER EXCITED!π¨
Our Natalia ISD Board of Trustees VOTED to hand out $1,000 Christmas Stipend Checks to EVERY SINGLE STAFF Member in our district on December 4th!
Our staff have gone above and beyond! This is the least we can do to say THANK YOU!

Father. He remains at University Hospital. Tests are checking out well. Family was thankful for the outpouring of support. His father was quite frustrated with the situation and how it was handled-but blessed his son is on road to recovery.

Read what athletes are writing today about a coach who suddenly lost his life in Devine.....
Read what some parents will say on Facebook if they don't agree with a 4th down call or a close loss.

Prayers to a large Natalia Family who lost a loved one in the bad wreck in Devine earlier before the game. Hats off to the Natalia athlete(s) related who still played in the game tonight. Wasn't easy.
This is sad- but happening all around us!
When I was in school and got in trouble- I always got in trouble at home. Never once did my parents go and blame an adult for my behavior.
Imagine in your job if you dealt with something like this daily. Wear their shoes for a day or two
Yesterday we get another huge obstable: She was diagnosed with a very rare and tough Cancer on top of Chronic Lung Disease-
All I would ask from my followers is- Please lift her up in prayer
#WeNeedAMiracle
My mom said: "I dont care if people know- I need prayers to fight this"-
This lady gave me a shot at life at just days old when she adopted me:
One month ago life hit her with a huge battle vs a rare chronic lung disease which did not seem fair-
This will be a battle in itself.
2 weeks ago she gets in severe pain and has non-related surgery.
Could use some prayers....
Quite frustrating....
Mother hasn't felt well for over a month. Doctors couldn't figure much out...
Now she is in the hospital......
#PrayForHerPlease
Dana Woodson just called me
He asked I let everyone know
@wyattwoodson2
was just released from the hospital. He asked me to thank folks from everywhere for their prayers-thoughts-comments. He said Wyatt will come back stronger when all said and done.
#RecoveryTime
He Bleeds Maroon and Gold!
He attended Schools and returned to lead others for many years.
He has put in the time-energy and effort!
Congrats to
@jimsessions
who was hired tonight by
@devineisd
Board as the Athletic Director for DHS. πβοΈπ
So sad... Ruined my day. To know folks and teens hurt this much.
Our small towns should come together to work to support each other and make sure no human is torn down by another. Let's do our part together to make tomorrow a better day.

Planning a funeral for when God calls you home- isn't something I was emotionally ready for.
But... Not everyone has the honor of having the toughest conversation a son can have with their mother - her wishes- on funeral preferences-
Last night was the toughest convo in 37yrs.
Never had I seen these photos before last night at my mother's viewing. Her love for sports began at an early age. I adore these photos from her days playing for

Touchdown Natalia as time expires! Woodson to Zapata!

East Bernard 41, Natalia 7.
A great season for the Stangs. Natalia finishes 7-4. Best season since 2002.
From a former State Champ herself- To a current State Champ Coach and a 4X Regional Title Coach!
Awesome when former athletes come back to lead!
Congrats

Main artery to his heart was 99% blocked. Emergency procedure is done and he is doing well! Thanks for the calls-texts-prayers. πππ»π
Dr. Said he was a few steps away from a massive heart attack. Miracle he survived Disney and Carlsbad. Say there is no God.
Keep my mother in your prayers please...
A very trying week this week begins tomorrow - in a crucial step in our battle vs this terrible disease called Cancer.

Board are Super Proud of you and your entire program!
Sad, sad news out of Devine. After the sad ordeal at DHS a few days ago, this poor young lady has passed. Keep all of the Devine ISD community in your prayers, especially her family. She has great parents whom I know personally. Sad ordeal.
Just read the Facebook post from Mr. Frank Hopkins-father of the young Devine girl who passed.
Brought tears to my eyes.
How strong Frank is to post what he did. He was a phenomenal educator In Natalia years ago.
His words for his daughter were moving.
"I can't wait until 7:30 pm tomorrow night- Go Mustangs, beat those Indians"-
Best birthday present in 67 years...

At the age of 64 years old he never knew he was the reason I was brought into the world.
A year after finding out he was the cause of a son being born into the world: he came from Ecuador and we met in Round Rock-
I'm blessed for a rare 1 night- that gave me life.
#Truth
Today- I am driving 3 hours to Moody,Tejas to surprise the once unfit mother- who I have never met in my life and just found out about months ago. She will never be my mother- but a woman I am grateful for-for giving me a shot at a good life. Nervous as hell-but here goes nothing
When I was only a couple of days old... I was given up to the unknown world by a young unfit woman who could not raise me. Luckily I was adopted by the best parents one could ask for. I would not have it any other way. I have had a great life-better than I deserve.
#WeDidIt
July of 2021- I left with the clothes on my back- facing the highest child support the courts would allow just days after losing my mother.
Today- July 2023- God made a way that I was never sure I would see!

Mission Accomplished....
Was great to meet someone I never knew I would have the opportunity to.
Enjoyed lunch and took her shopping at HEB. God is good. Blessed she has been clean from drugs.... but suffers in various ways from the years of bad habbits.
We have a lot of folks who bust their tail in our district. One of those awesome ladies who works tirelessly in our

is Ms. Mary Ann Pedroza.
I just helped her get into a brand new 2021 Chevrolet Trax. She has dedicated 10+ to our district!
Thanks for ALL you do!
We received the call we were worried we would...
Telling "Momo" by for the last time prior to leaving was tough. We shed many a tears.
Dora Esquivel is in a better place. Please keep my wife's family in your prayers. Losing a grandmother is NEVER easy.
Rest easy Momo!
Last words out of my moms mouth when I left her bedside in ICU-
Eric make sure if you go to

Keep my mother in your prayers. Her struggles continue at an all time high.... Chronic Lung Disease and Stage 3 or 4 Cancer at the same time.
Not a battle for the weak. She continues to fight the good fight!
Hate watching my mom go through this!
#CancerSux
When Sergio Mendez arrived in Natalia our band was down to 30something members in the band.
Fast forward to 2019... Well over 75 members.
He has TRULY built up expectations and results with a 6th straight year of our band getting Division I ratings!
