Favila: A letter to Santa
Dear Santa, Well, it's that time of year again and I've been a pretty good boy. There is a lot of stuff that I want this Christmas. A Blu-ray disc player would be nice. Of course, if you get me that I'd also like a new high-definition plasma TV. I saw...
Favila: Taking away from the prestige
Starting on Tuesday, Valley Freedom Newspapers and RGVSports.com will begin unveiling its 2008 All-Valley football team. And I must admit I'm pretty excited about this All-Valley team because, for the first time that I can remember, this is truly an...
Favila: Blame the refs, not the race
Apparently racism and hatred toward Hispanics still dwells deep in the heart of Texas. And, apparently, the evil face of racism poked its ugly head out of the ground two Saturdays ago at Kingsville's Javelina Stadium during the Los Fresnos-San Antonio...
Favila: Reasons to be thankful
With the spirit of Thanksgiving still fresh in the air, I wanted to take a moment to list a few of the things that I'm most thankful for. I'm a pessimist by nature. For some reason I have always seen the glass half-empty. I'm a cynic and I often have...

I hate the La Feria Lions. I also, apparently hate the Los Fresnos Falcons, the Edcouch-Elsa Yellowjackets and the PSJA Bears. But I love the McAllen Memorial Mustangs, the Harlingen Cardinals and the PSJA North Raiders. I didn't know I had these feelings...
Favila: The top 10 things we learned from the E-E controversy
Instead of spending a week talking about playoff pairings and matchups, all this past week was spent wondering if one team would even be allowed to play in the postseason because of an alleged ineligible player. In the end, Edcouch-Elsa was cleared by...
Dave's Raves: Sharing & sports don't go together
From a very early age, we are taught to share. Share your toys with your sister or share your candy with your brother. As we mature sharing still plays a part in our lives. We share our possessions because we're taught that doing so makes us better...
Dave's Raves: Looking forward to Week 10
I can't believe how fast the time ticked away. It seems like just yesterday that we at RGVSports.com were preparing our preseason football tabs. And now, here we are the verge of the end of the regular season. I tell you, if you want to make 10 weeks...
Dave's Raves: Give the little guys their due
The world loves rooting for underdogs. You know, the little guy. The team with high hopes, but with huge odds against them. But, apparently, this doesn't hold true when it comes to Valley high school football. After the Valley Morning Star made Bruni...
Lend your support to a great cause
Getting a regional tournament to be played in the Rio Grande Valley is a novel idea. However, to think that by getting one, Valley teams and athletes will suddenly gain an advantage over teams and athletes from San Antonio and the surrounding areas is...
