From Coach Trevino:
Last night in Saginaw, our seniors were recognized and presented with flowers for Saginaw's Senior Night. In addition, we presented their team with a signed softball from our girls and a card for Coach Money’s wife and daughter, that were present. Andrea Ramos, Senior CF, personally baked softball decorated doughnuts and presented them to their team. The Saginaw coaching staff and Coach Money’s wife went on and on for us being so thoughtful. It was an emotional night for all. I was really proud of how our young ladies presented themselves.

Shout out to Coach Braud: Trimble Tech HS
TSATA wants to recognize Athletic Trainers from around the state, for their day-to-day endeavors of the “Athletic Training Life’. Their actions do not need to be anything award-worthy, or that goes above & beyond their ‘normal’ job duties… they just need to be a great Athletic Trainer. Let’s recognize individuals for their outstanding service though his/her work ethic, exhibiting a positive and supportive attitude. By nature, Athletic Trainers do not seek out attention, but this recognition is an honorary pat on the back and letting other Athletic Trainers, statewide, know. This ‘spotlight’ is a good way for ATs around the state to get and know people, they would not normally see or meet.
Jason Braud, Trimble Tech, was listed in the Texas State Athletic Training Association as an Athletic Trainer Spotlight recipient.
