week 5 – Brackenridge vs kennedy and madison vs johnson

Posted on 10/01/201111/04/2025 by Mark
On Thursday night, I was at Frank Mata Memorial stadium for the Brackenridge Eagles Vs Kennedy Rockets  It is located near Lackland AFB. Normally, I have the directions printed out for some games but I didn’t get a chance for this game.  I was there last year and kinda remember where it was.  When I left the bank that evening, I kept repeating the directions to myself…281 South to I-H 35 South to Highway 90 West Del Rio and exit General McMullen Dr and take a left on Thompson St.  It was a very slow and rainy drive to the stadium.


I only get to see these teams once or twice during the football season so I was excited for this game. 


I know the Brackenridge Eagles always have several athletes who are fast and they are a very good passing team.  I also know the Kennedy Rockets are primarily a running team. 


I was expecting a close game since they were both undefeated in District 29-4A.  However, that didn’t happen! The Eagles won the game 44-20 but it was not that close. 


The Eagles altered there offense by running all over the Rockets.  They ran the ball 27 times for 265 yards and 4 touchdowns.  When they did pass, the quarterback,  Anthony Garza was superb.  Garza was 9 for 16 passing with 195 yards and 1 touchdown and 1 interception.  He was the player of the game. 


The quarterback for Kennedy, Jalen Garcia, had 25 carries for 85 yards and 1 touchdown.  Damian Veloz, the running back, had 18 carries for 74 yards but most of that was in the 2nd half.


On Friday night, I was at Comalander stadium for the Madison Mavericks Vs Johnson Jaguars.  I was really interested to see how Madison would bounce back after the loss to Judson.  I know they weren’t going to lie down and say goodnight to the rest of the teams in District 26-5A!  Johnson was looking like the top team in this District.  


Well, after the game ended, Johnson, Reagan, Churchill, MacArthur, and Lee should be very worried since the Madison Mavericks woke up and they look like the team to beat!!!!!  They dominated the Jaguars and poured it on!  Madison won the game 44-20!  It’s like the Judson game last week is just what the Mavericks needed!  


 

The three studs for Madison were super impressive.  The running back, Marquis Warford, had 24 carries for 219 yards and 2 touchdowns, the quarterback, Justin Jones, was 7 for 17 passing for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns and zero interceptions (last week he has 4), and the wide receiver, Byron Daniels, caught 3 passes for 93 yards and had both touchdowns.  They were awesome! Warford was our player of the game. 


Cohner Mokry, the quarterback for Johnson was really good.  He had 217 yards of the teams 308 yards of offense and 2 touchdowns. 


Tonight, I will be at Gustafson stadium for the Warren Warriors Vs Stevens Falcons.  I will be working with Mark Thomas and Virgil Peterson.  Its been several years since I have worked with Mark and I am looking forward to seeing him.  Virgil has been with TSRN for a long time and it is always a pleasure to work with him.
