INGLESIDE - Dave Campbell's Texas Football is proud to announce that the Ingleside High School Mustangs football team has been named the Army Strong Team of the Week for Division 3A.

The Ingleside Mustangs were chosen for this honor because of their teamwork, dedication, discipline, personal courage and integrity, values shared by U.S. Army Soldiers.

"Ingleside knocked off previously unbeaten Sinton, 35-28, on Friday to stay alive in the district title race," said Adam Hochfelder, general manager of Dave Campbell's Texas Football. "The Mustangs, who are now tied with Sinton and Mathis for first place with one game remaining, ran up 340 yards of offense while improving to 8-1 on the season and 5-1 in district."

The award will be presented to the team at a time to be determined later this week by a representative of the U.S. Army.

"The U.S. Army is recognizing the student-athletes at Ingleside High School for demonstrating qualities similar to those exhibited by its Soldiers. Student-athletes and Soldiers share similar values, but more importantly they must be mentally, emotionally and physically strong," said Captain Jose Garcia. "We expect to see some of these young men competing at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, the college level, or maybe even professionally in the future."
