I hope you found my high school football writing insightful. I really enjoyed writing every blog post and couldn’t wait to come home and write! My High School Football blog will be back next season.
This season, I worked 33 games and drove over 1600 miles to stadiums in San Antonio, one game at Reliant stadium in Houston, and one game at Cowboys stadium in Arlington! Very strange that I had no games in the Alamodome.
Looking back at all the games I worked and each blog post I wrote, I am going to pick my upset game of the year, my blowout game of the year, my most exciting game of the year, and my most exciting end of the game of the year.
For my upset game of the year, I am picking Madison defeating Judson 25-24 in the first round of the playoffs. Judson crushed Madison in Week 4. I knew the rematch would be much closer but nobody expected Madison to win. Not only did Madison win, they went 5 rounds deep in the playoffs.
For my blowout game of the year, I am picking Reagan beating Madison 38-17. Going into this game, both teams were undefeated in district play. I was expecting a battle till the end. Unfortunately, Madison forget to show up for this game and got crushed by Reagan.
For my most exciting game of the year, I am picking Marshall beating Taft 17-14. The Marshall Rams nailed a field goal as time expired to get there first victory of the season.
For my most exciting end of a game of the year, I am picking Johnson beating Wagner 28-27. Wagner was up by 13 with under 4 minutes to go in the game. The quarterback for Johnson threw a touchdown pass on a 4th down to cut the lead to 6. He also recovered the onside kick on the next possession and threw another touchdown pass to tie the game. Extra point was good and Johnson wins by 1!
I say thank you to everyone I have worked with this season!!
I say so long 2011 high school football and see ya next August!!
