Made in the 956: Valley author and high school coach Jose Ponce
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Jose Ponce, a native of San Juan and high school football coach, has transformed his childhood experiences in the Rio Grande Valley into a new book titled "I Thought We Were Poor, But I Was Wrong." The book, which blends fiction and non-fiction, reflects on Ponce's upbringing in Lopezville, where he realized the blessings of family and love despite financial struggles. Encouraged by a friend, Ponce expanded his initial story about his grandfather into a broader narrative about his life. Currently the offensive coordinator for the Juarez-Lincoln Huskies in La Joya, Ponce hopes his writing resonates with others. The book is available on Amazon.
