Even El Diario made it out there!

The people in El Paso need to wake up!!!! This is not about what school you went to or what part of town you are from. This is about a bunch of kids that have worked their tail off to get here. Its about putting EL Paso on the map in High School sports. What else is there in El Paso. These kids deserve the respect from everybody, especially the news. Geeze good news for a change instead of all these killings of people that were doing wrong things to begin with. ITS ABOUT THE KIDS TODAY. ITS ABOUT SOCORRO BASEBALL REPRESENTING EL PASO IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT!!! GOOD LUCK BULLDOGS AND WE'LL SEE YOU THERE. I live in Round Rock and I'm getting my tickets today!!! I've waited 3 years for these guys to make it here. BIG CONGRATS!!!!! FOX you dissapoint me..
