By Monday, Atascocita coach Eric Matthews had had a couple days to get over his team’s loss in the state semifinals. It didn’t help.

The Eagles fell 5-4 to San Antonio Reagan in the semifinals of the Class 5A tournament in Round Rock, ending a magical playoff run that included the program’s first regional championship. Click here for complete story and additional photos
