HARLINGEN, Texas - Saturday's tussle in San Antonio between Harlingen and Del Rio did little to assuage Rio Grande Valley football fans and their long-held opinion that local ballclubs just can't compete with northern squads. Harlingen's football Cardinals eked out a win over the Rams 37-34, setting them up for next week's game against a much-tougher San Antonio Warren club.
But what if Harlingen wins that game?
It may wish to lose and come on home.
Standing in its way to the state championship would be a strong team from Dallas Skyline, an undefeated team with NFL-like speed and muscle. Skyline would be the team to be beat in Harlingen's bracket.
After whipping a ranked team from DeSoto, 41-31, Skyline looms as a true contender for the state 5A crown, there in league with No. 1 ranked Katy and rising Euless Trinity, victor this past Saturday over former No. 2 Allen.
What's in store for Harlingen: Runaway speed and lineman in the 300-lb. range.
Well, there's also QB Devante Kincade, a 6'2", 180 jackrabbit being looked at by most major colleges in the country. Kincade has running back speed, almost that of teammate RB David Greene, a 6'1", 210 bruiser.
When on defense, the Cardinals will face a Skyline offensive line that includes Kevin Coleman (6'2", 300 lbs.), Marlon Brown (6'2", 330 lbs.) and Domenic Woods (6'2", 300 lbs.) That why RB Greene averages more than 120 yards per game. When on offense, Harlingen will face speedy linebackers in the 220-lb. weight range. Skyline's defensive linemen includes Stephan Bailey (6'3", 320 lbs.) and Mychealon Thomas (6'2", 290 lbs.) Defensive backs? Lean and mean, all fast as fire and known to hit like an avalanche of boulders.
The Skyline player shown in the photo atop this story is linebacker Peter Jinkens. He is a backer in the mold of Steelers enforcer Troy Polamalu, standing 6'1" and weighing 205 lbs.
It could be a treat to go up against a true powerhouse, but the smaller Harlingen Cardinals likely would not enjoy the whipping.
That's Dallas Skyline, a Top 10 team.
There are those who say undefeated Skyline wouldn't beat No. 1 Katy or neighbor Euless Trinity, which also says something about Harlingen's chances of winning the state title...

They won't get past San Antonio. But it would be nice to see them go against those monster teams from Dallas. I'd buy a ticket.
there are no 300 pound lineman in the Valley that I know of. Wow!! good luck.
Mr.Editor, the meanmister blog is reporting Junior Bonner is ready to file a defamation lawsuit against the editor of the Paz file blog.
However, the character making the allegations, is not Junior Bonner. The guy in the picture looks fagoty.
I know, there is a guy who eats at a local rest, and looks dumb, has dead eyes, like the cowboy on the picture of your blog.
According to this guy, the editor of this blog is loco, whatever that is.
Antonette:...Little games for little minds. We don't know this Barton bugger, but, then, we don't know every rat on the boat. Perhaps he's just looking for attention. It's the national sport of all Brownsville wannabes. But we'll just let it slide. For now... - Editor
Brownsville bloggers are losers. One just shut down his blog and another has been arested and jailed and another is known for porno. Don't know this Barton dude, but his blog is not that well-known even in his hometown. Ignore him, Mr. Editor. Es un sonso.
Harsh words were made by the Junior Bonner wannabe, I mean, harsh words,
towards the paz files.
There is a picture of Junior Bonner on the MeanMister blog. The guy has no teeth and wanted to Marry a Native American. He never mentions Cylantra, during the interview, this stuff is getting weird.
the Paz Files is too good to care about some lonely blogger looking for attention. Ignore that loser. Just saying.
Harlingen will play SA Warren this Saturday in Corpus Christi. Buccaneer Stadium @ 1 or 2 p.m.
Harlingen plays at 2 pm but the gates open at 1 pm, tickets go on sale tomorrow for season ticket holders, and Wed for general public. The game is at Corpus Christi Texas.
Bloggers at the Mean mister blog, are questioning the editor of this blog, they want disclosure of the real Bonner and his weemin, his level of edikation, and want to see Cylantra.
