Maciel's 5 TDs lead Lanier over Highlands
Lanier rolled out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter even before Highlands had a chance to get the ball. Highlands then fumbled the ensuing kickoff, with Lanier’s Ezequail Garcia Ramirez recovering the loose ball at the Highlands 30-yard line. Guerra’s second touchdown catch gave Lanier its largest lead of the game, 28-0, with 1:53 before halftime. Lanier responded to the Highlands’ score by going on a seven-play, 62-yard scoring drive that was capped by Maciel’s game-clinching 21-yard touchdown run at 4:03 in the third quarter, putting the Voks up 35-12. Highlands will play Sam Houston in a District 13-5A Division 1 seeding game, with playoff implications, Saturday at 2 p.m. at Alamo Stadium.

SAN ANTONIO University of Texas Longhorns football players and other student athletes shared a statement on Friday requesting several changes geared toward supporting black students and one of the requests has a direct San Antonio connection. He was a San Antonio native and graduated from Highlands High School in 1969. He is considered to be one of the greatest football players ever from the San Antonio area. For those who do not know, Julius Whittier, the first black UT football letterman, is from @HighlandsOwls in San Antonio. Other calls to action include increasing outreach efforts to inner-city schools in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston.
