San Antonio has been in a drought all year but yesterday it rained all day. It would stop for a few minutes and then pour. The stadium is 4 miles from my house and it was sprinkling for the first two miles and then it was a torrential downpour! I was thinking to myself, I am not hanging the banner in this weather! But, when I pulled into the parking lot of the stadium, it stopped raining. So, I quickly gathered my stuff and the banner and hung the banner as fast as I possibly could. Guess what happened next? Well, as I was securing the last corner of the banner with a wire tie, it started to rain again!!!
It rained on and off during the game and you can tell when it started to rain when the fans grabbed there umbrellas! The cheerleaders, dance team, and band had plastic ponchos on!
I was high and dry in the press box!
Madison’s big three, Justin Jones, Marquis Warford, and Byron Daniels had a combined 382 yards of total offense and 4 touchdowns. But last night, Junior running back, Galen McAllister had 16 carries for 152 yards and 1 touchdown. Now, Madison has 4 studs!!!
We gave the player of them game to Jones. He was 11 for 19 passing for 161 yards and 3 touchdowns. Daniels caught all three of them and they were amazing corner of end zone catches. He is very impressive to watch. And, we get to see him for 2 more years! Wow!
The quarterback for Roosevelt, Abraham Prather, was 11 for 23 passing for 133 yards and 3 interceptions. He spread the ball around to 5 receivers who each had at least 23 yards receiving. Frank Barnes, the running back, had 16 carries for 76 yards and 1 touchdown.
Roosevelt kept the game close but Madison scored 2 touchdowns in the 4th quarter to clinch there 2nd district win with the 35-14 victory.
Next Thursday, I will be at Alamo stadium for the Pleasanton Eagles Vs Sam Houston Hurricanes. Sam Houston is a team I have been waiting to see all season. I can’t wait!
Friday night, I will be at Matador stadium in Seguin for the Judson Rockets Vs Seguin Matadors. I am looking forward to a much better performance from the Rockets.
Not sure where I will be Saturday.
