So, how would the Rockets respond after the loss to Wagner last week? Well, I have seen lots of Rockets games and lets just say that I feel really bad for the Seguin Matadors! I did a Seguin game in Week 2 and know they are really struggling this season and have 1 victory so far. So, I knew the Rockets would be angry and the game could be over early (I even mentioned this in the Friday Night Live Chat from the Express News last night-my handle name was mark-tsrnsports).
And, guess what? My prediction that the game would be over early was CORRECT! Michael Williams, a Judson Rocket defensive back, intercepted 2 passes. The first led to Judson’s first score and the other led to the final touchdown of the 1st half. In between, it was 4 rushing touchdowns and 1 passing touchdown.
At halftime, it was Judson 38 and Seguin 0! Wow! Super impressive! Judson ran 30 plays for 349 yards and 5 touchdowns. Quaylon had 12 carries for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns! Matt McCarty was 4 for 6 passing with 100 yards and 1 touchdown. This was only in the first half!
Oh, I got some FREE advertising for my awesome blog from Eric Johnson when he was going over the first half stats. Thanks Eric! I always appreciate the plugs!
Somehow the scoreboard operators at the stadium had the score 37-0 Judson on the scoreboard. Bobby, Eric, and I knew it was 38-0 cause we didn’t see any missed extra points by the Rockets. The public address announcer even came to us asking if the score was correct. I think a fan even made his way to the press box to ask us. So, I went to the 2nd floor of the press box to find the scoreboard operators to get that score corrected. When I found them, they made the change and mentioned 1 point isn’t going to matter and I shook my head and agreed! On my way back down to the 1st floor, I stopped and talked to Mike Wacker, the head basketball coach for Judson. He was filming the game.
Poor Seguin, they couldn’t do anything and had a lot problems moving the ball down the field. I think they gave up at halftime! The Matadors got the ball first to start the 3rd and they were just chewing clock by running the ball (which they really struggled). The second half went very fast, I think the scoreboard operators were letting the clock run when it should have been stopped.
Judson played subs for the most of the 2nd half. The Rockets only touchdown in the 2nd half was an 80 yard touchdown run. Seguin scored on a fumbled punt by the Rockets very close to the end zone. I don’t think they scored. It should have been Rocket ball and the fumble was caused by the turf after the player was down. But, I guess the refs wanted Seguin to score.
Final score of the game was 45-6 Judson over Seguin. Michael Williams was our player of the game.
The Seguin press box staff and athletic staff was super friendly. They waited for Bobby and I to finish the scoreboard show before they locked the stadium and turned off the lights at 11:00pm!
Next Thursday, Judson plays the Steele Knights at Rutledge which will probably be the game of year. I was looking forward to this game all season long. This game was moved from Friday to Thursday so it can be broadcasted by Fox Sports Southwest!!! I was very upset when they moved it!!! Crap, I will be at the other TV game that night on CW35 at Gustafson stadium for the Stevens Falcons Vs Holmes Huskies! Plus, I make a lot more for TV games than radio! So, I guess it is OK!
Tonight, I will be at Farris stadium for the O’Connor Panthers Vs Jay Mustangs.
