No 10 Kerrville Tivy – Preseason Rankings from the Express News

Posted on 06/27/201211/04/2025 by Mark
You can tell that High School football is just around the corner when the San Antonio Express News has “Preseason Rankings!”  I figured why not provide my thoughts on each team that they ranked.  I do have lots of experience as a High School football statistician for radio and TV. 


No. 10 Kerrville Tivy


It will be very interesting to see how the new coach performs after the departure of Mark Smith, whose record with Tivy was 93 wins and 33 losses in 10 years. 


I hope I get to see QB Parks McNeil this season; 4,171 total yards and 48 touchdowns last year.  Absolutely amazing numbers and I am sure this season will be more productive!!! 


My best memory of a Tivy game was in 2008 when they played the Clemens Buffaloes in Schertz.  What I remember most was Johnny Manziel’s breakthrough performance.  Manziel was a SOPHOMORE wide receiver, but switched to QB after the starter got injured.  Not many athletes can do what Manziel did that evening. He threw two touchdown passes in the last minute to catapult Tivy to a 31-30 victory.   That game was also the start of an extremely impressive high school football career and every Friday night was an offensive explosion for Johnny.     


So, let me give you the total numbers for Johnny Manziel: 153 touchdowns and 11,538 yards both as a QB and Running Back.  Watch for him at Texas A & M!!!!
