My radio boss, Bobby Stautzenberger, was broadcasting the game along with Tony Franklin on the Texas Sports Radio Network. I stopped by Bobby’s area first in the press box to drop off some stats for each team. I told him I would text him scoring drives and provide my stats at halftime and at the end of the game.
The TV crew was located on the third floor, so I had one more flight of stairs to conquer. It was a large open film deck, but not every window opened and I was glad since it was really cold! The wall and space I used to place my stat boards was in between 2 cameras! So, almost every time I turned or moved, I would bump into one of them! This was the first game where I was not able to see the TV monitors. I also had to hold up my small stat board really high so Ernie and Dean could see it!
The New Braunfels Unicorns and Judson Rockets have both made the playoffs. I was thinking that they would have a lot of backups playing and rest the starters, but that didn’t happen!
Alvin Clark started the scoring for Judson with a 42 yard run in the first quarter. Last week, Quaylon Jones had 3 carries for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns. Last night, Q had 22 carries for 236 yards and 4 touchdowns! Judson ran the ball 50 times for 411 yards and 5 touchdowns! Impressive again! Sounds like a repeat for every Judson game!!!
The Unicorns bright spot was running back, T.J. Reynolds. He had 28 carries for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns. The quarterback, Weston King, was 13 of 24 passing for 69 yards and 1 interception. Lots of short passes to 6 different receivers. The leading rusher and receiver were held to 5 yards! Wow!
Judson won the game 34-17. Quaylon was the player of the game for TV and radio!
Since this was the last game on TV, I thanked Ernie, Dean, and Dave for letting me be a part of the crew!!!
Wow, I can’t believe I now have 3 seasons of TNL under my belt!
My season isn’t over! Tonight, I will be at Farris stadium for the Clark Cougars Vs O’Connor Panthers. Winner gets the final playoff spot in district 27-5a so I am expecting a battle till the end!!! You can hear the game on KLUP 930am in San Antonio, TRSNsports.com, or our mobile TSRN app!!!
