Week 8 – Southside VS Harlandale

Posted on 10/26/201311/04/2025 by Mark
On Thursday night, I was at Harlandale Memorial stadium as the winless Southside Cardinals visited the one loss Harlandale Indians.  Yeah, on paper, this game looked like a blow-out, but the stats and final score produced a very close game.


The Harlandale Indians defeated the Southside Cardinals by a score of 21 to 14.


I gotta give a lot of kudos to the Southside Cardinals.  They fought and played hard and never gave up. The quarterback for Southside is Johnny Trevino and I was on his bandwagon from start to finish will be a Johnny follower for 2 more years as he is only a Sophomore.  He was 10 for 17 passing for 164 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.  He also had 15 carries for 43 yards.  Noe Zavala, a wide receiver, had 7 receptions for 106 yards and the lone passing touchdown.


This was my first chance to see the highly talented quarterback for Harlandale, Brandon Ramon and folks, I was really impressed with his leadership and getting the job done skills.  Ramon was 19 for 29 passing for 210 yards and 2 touchdowns.  He also had 1 rushing touchdown.  I hope I get another opportunity to see him play this season…maybe a playoff game!!! Ian Martinez, a wide receiver, had 6 receptions for 93 yards and 1 touchdown.


Next Thursday, I will be at Farris stadium for a District 27-5A game between the Brandeis Broncos and the Marshall Rams.


On Friday, I will be at D W Rutledge stadium for a District 25-5A game between the New Braunfels Canyon Cougars and the Judson Rockets.


And, on Saturday, I will be at Benson stadium on the campus of Incarnate Word for the St. Anthony Yellow Jackets as they host Austin St. Michaels.  I am not doing stats!!!  I am going to be a “freelance sports reporter.”  Hopefully no sunburn since this a night game!
