History Makers: McAllen Memorial routs crosstown rival, punches ticket to Sweet 16
McALLEN — Just over 30 years ago McAllen Memorial head coach Roque Cortinas helped guide the Mustangs to the third round of the UIL state playoffs as a player.
The then-junior was a part of the last Mustangs team to qualify for Round 3, with McAllen Memorial last making the round in 1990.
Fast forward 34 years and Cortinas is part of another historic Mustangs run, this time leading McAllen Memorial into the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history following a 12-2 victory over crosstown rival McAllen High on Saturday at McAllen Memorial High School.
