(Brownsville, Texas)-The Brownsville Veterans Memorial High School Chargers advanced to the UIL State 5A Division I Regional finals for the first time in school history before losing to PSJA North 35-15 under head coach Kelley Lee. He has since departed to coach at Eastern New Mexico University.
Defensive coordinator JC Ramirez is now the new head football coach and he brings plenty of experience to the game. With the Chargers going deep, the expectations will be high once again as they kickoff against San Benito at home on August 25th. The Greyhounds won 17-3 last season.
Returning for the Chargers are QB Michael Montoya (459 yards rushing), WR Jerry Gomez (783 yards 36 catches), RB Gilbert Trillo ( 245 yards 28 carries), RB Jaime Martinez (6’0 264 yards), and RB Eroz Pineda (44 carries 254 yards).
