On Wednesday, February 4th, my Twitter feed EXPLODED and was OUT OF CONTROL because it was #NationalSigningDay!!! And, you know something, I was totally OK with it because I am extremely passionate for High School Football. With each Tweet, I was happy for the player, the player’s family, and the college they chose to play…

high school football wrap-up part 1
The 2014 High School Football season is officially over. And, although it ended a week before I wanted it to (Judson and Steele both lost in the state semi-finals), it was one heck of a ride and I enjoyed every moment!!! I didn’t work as many games as I have in previous years because…
San Antonio Sports All Star Football Game
On Saturday, I was at The Alamodome for the San Antonio Sports All Star Football game. Unlike last year where the parking was so chaotic, I decided several months (more likely it was a year) in advance that for this year, I will get a ride to and from the game….and I must admit, that…

Week 16 – Steele VS Katy Preview
On Saturday, the Steele Knights will play the Katy Tigers at Reliant stadium. Yeah, I know that Reliant is now named NRG stadium (does that stand for Nuclear Recourse Group?), but I will always refer to the stadium as Reliant. It’s like when The Alamodome changes its name to the MDLBLOG.COM Dome (it’s only a…
Week 15 – AGAIN, NO GAMES FOR ME
I know I missed a heck of a game between Judson and Reagan (assuming they won in Week 14) in the Division I quarterfinals and Steele and Brandeis in Division II quarterfinals. I am hoping Judson and Steele came out on top!!! When I return from my cruise this evening (yes, that is where I…
Week 14 – NO GAMES FOR ME
I am taking some time off from the world to spend time with my wife and my parents. I know Judson, Brandeis, and Steele won their Week 14 games on Friday and I have no clue about the Reagan Rattlers (but, I will assume Reagan won) which means Judson will play Reagan in the…
Week 13 – 6 teams, 3 games, 2 days, and 1 stadium
On Friday and Saturday, I worked 3 HUGE 2ND ROUND PLAYOFF games at The Alamodome. Before, I dive into my thoughts, stats, and pictures, I want to say THANKS to The Alamodome staff for having food and drinks for us folks in the media…man, that was a very nice surprise. OK, let’s talk SAN ANTONIO…
Week 13 – Class 6A PREDICTIONS
Brandeis Broncos VS Johnson Jaguars — Jaylen Dukes, Peyton Hall, and Paul Lozano will lead the Brandeis Broncos to a win. Reagan Rattlers VS Stevens Falcons — It’s hard for me to pick against Bobby Chacon and the Stevens Falcons, but I have to go with the Reagan Rattlers and Kellon Mond with the victory….

On Saturday night at The Alamodome, the top two teams in the San Antonio area will play each other in the 2nd Round of the 2014 Texas High School football playoffs. It will also be the first ever meeting between them. If you don’t have any plans, come out and see a great game…you won’t…
Week 12 – O’Connor Panthers VS Southwest Dragons
On Friday, I was at Gustafson stadium for a first round Playoff match-up between the O’Connor Panthers and the Southwest Dragons, I have been a stat man for High School football games since 1997 and I have seen some crazy numbers, but never have I ever seen a team with 8 turnovers (5 of them…

Week 9- Brandeis Broncos VS O’Connor Panthers
Last year when these two teams played, it was MY GAME OF THE YEAR!!! It featured 2 touchdowns, 3 field goals, 22 points, and by far the best finish I have seen. Quite a contrast to my 2012 game of the year which had 5 players over 100 yards, 14 touchdowns, 45 first downs,…
