Story about the first Uvalde HS game of the season, with a mention of Texans’ Athletic Trainer Roland Ramirez coordinating a surprise visit by the Houston Texans.

‘The special NFL visit was made possible by the Texans’ athletic trainer, Roland Ramirez, who is a Uvalde native.

“It’s been tough. Some really close friends have lost loves ones … so it hits home for me,” he said.

Ramirez said he’s glad the Texans can extend support and encouragement to the high schoolers — and he’s especially excited to watch his alma mater take the field Friday night.’
