“The only word I can describe about this community is grit, being resilient. When you are born and raised here, it’s all about bleeding that maroon and white,” said Bennie Luna, a Uvalde ISD teacher.
The team taking the field was a moment to celebrate under the Friday night lights -- a small distraction from everything Uvalde has gone through. “This town has been through a lot of heartache and pain,” said Roland Ramirez, head athletic trainer for the Houston Texans and a 1997 Uvalde High School alum.“One heartbeat and one community, and they are all here for one another and know each other, support each other, and that’s what this town is all about,” he said.“The organization being able to do that for them and host them for the season opener is special, and the kids were ecstatic,” Ramirez said.
