Something spectacular happened in 1957 in Del Rio, when the San Felipe High School Mustangs, coached by J.B. Pena, magically mastered a game a bunch of kids that weren't allowed to play in the first place.
As five Latinos in the 1950s — Joe Treviño, Felipe Romero, Mario Lomas, Gene Vasquez, and Lupe Felan — initially self-taught a game and grew into a life-long love affair.
The 1957 Mustangs laced their trophy cabinets with prestige -- winning the Class A Texas state high school golf championship by a previously unfathomable 35 strokes — securing first, second, and third place individual honors in synchronization.
