McALLEN, Texas---- After coming off their first loss of the season the Rio Grande Valley Magic are prepared to start their road portion of the schedule in Lone Star Football League. It will be the first of three straight road beginning on Monday versus the Corpus Christi Hammerheads.

Both Corpus and Rio Grande Valley have a rivalry that dates back to 2007 when they in the now defunct AF2 and renewed the rivalry last season in also defunct Southern Indoor Football League. Rio Grande Valley leads the overall series 10 wins to three losses. The last win for Rio Grande in the series came last season as they defeated the Hammerheads 41-33.

After a week of practice ended for the Magic, Head Coach Schuyler "Skyler" Anderson commented "After a sluggish first half against Laredo I feel our guys responded in the second half. Now we need to build upon the second half momentum and play all four quarters on the offense and defense side of the ball."

Coach Anderson also commented on the rivalry with Corpus Christi "I'm not only familiar to the Hammerhead players but coaching staff as well. I played and coached with head coach Stephen Fillmore. Monday's game pits us against a team close in distance which is looking to be a good rivalry."
