Clyde Davis This is to mention all of the people, by name, who gathered at Juanito’s on Thursday night to celebrate Don David’s birthday. Just kidding. Those are people who are perpetually concerned that their names will turn up in this column. The fact that Don David is now 35 is not the subject of this column.

This year many cities, including Matamoros, held closed ceremonies rather than parades. Reynosa and others held festivities earlier Wednesday so that people could get home and out o...

The more I talked to coaches, the more I liked him.” Ribaudo thought Kyser could...
