SAN ANTONIO – The blood supply in San Antonio and the surrounding area is at a critical low. It’s why blood drives in the community are so important— like the one the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center is holding today at Antonian College Preparatory High School. The blood drive is in honor of 2-year-old Amy, who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. It’s very sad in our community of people that have cancer and need platelets, plasma or whole blood,” Christy Crawcraft with the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center said. The blood drive today is happening inside the gym on the Antonian campus until 2 p.m.

The Antonian boys basketball team celebrates after winning their second TAPPS 6A State title in the last three seasons at A&M Consolidated High School on March 12, 2021. COLLEGE STATION – Early on in the first quarter of their TAPPS 6A State Championship game, the Antonian boys basketball team was in trouble. Bishop Lynch came out on fire and jumped out to a 17-6 lead with a little over 2 minutes left in the frame. The Apaches lost to JPII last season in the state championship, the only blemish on what has been a stellar, three-year run of dominance. So to be able to get the second one tonight, when we missed out on getting it last year, it’s just sweet.”

SAN ANTONIO – Over the course of nearly two decades, Antonian has established itself as one of the best cross country programs in the state, and the premiere program in TAPPS.
