Last Friday, December 2nd, the Madison Mavericks beat the Harlingen Cardinals 42-27. On December 3rd, the Steele Knights defeated the Reagan Rattlers 35-10.  I thought Reagan would be able to hang with them.  Obviously by the score, I was totally wrong.  Also that same day, the Devine Warhorses were eliminated. So, for Week 15, we…

In my Week 13 blog, I prayed to the “Football Gods” for a game on Friday, December 2nd.  Well, I got my wish but the location is in Kingsville, Texas which is about a 3 hour drive! If it was an hour drive, I would do it!  Stupid Kingsville!  I guess next time, I will…

Well, this weekend, I will get a break from high school football!  All of the teams TSRNsports are following are on the road.  It will be very strange being home on a Friday night! But, it will also be nice as I can be lazy Mark!  Will probably watch some movies (Fight Club, Iron Man,…

Last night, I was at Heroes stadium for the Steele Knights and the Brandeis Broncos in the 2nd round of the 5A playoffs.  On my drive to Heroes, I saw some fans for the Lake Travis Cavaliers (they were playing in the Alamodome), I saw the Lake Travis band truck, I passed Comalander stadium (Warren…

This afternoon, I was at Heroes stadium again for a 2nd round 5A playoff game between the Reagan Rattlers and the O’Connor Panthers.  This was the second time I had to wear my sunglasses during a football game.  The first was last years state championship game at Cowboy’s stadium.  No, I wasn’t trying to look…

 Heroes stadium will be my home on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.  I get to see the Steele Knights take on the Brandeis Broncos and the Reagan Rattlers take on the O’Connor Panthers.  Wow!  I am super pumped up and excited! Tommy Armstrong, the Steele quarterback has committed to play for NEBRASKA!   He hasn’t…

I am not going to Floresville stadium tomorrow night.  I was really looking forward to this game.  My stupid back has been hurting on and off and today was the icing on the cake.  I had enough!  I know driving over 100 miles tomorrow night and standing during the game will not be a good…

On Thursday, I am going to Floresville stadium for a 1A division 1 playoff game between the Kenedy Lions and the Shiner Comanches.  I got to thank Mark Thomas for requesting me to work this game.  He does some freelance work for the radio station that is broadcasting the game.  This will be my first…

Last night, I was at Farris stadium as the Clark Cougars hosted the O’Connor Panthers.  The winner of this gets a playoff spot.  Loser most likely goes home.  I was expecting a battle to the very end and a very close game.  I have never been in a situation where the winner is in and…

Last night, I was at Unicorn stadium in New Braunfels as they hosted the Judson Rockets.  This was my first time at that particular stadium and it was a great feeling when I saw the stadium lights on Loop 337!!!   This was also the last TNL game! My radio boss, Bobby Stautzenberger, was broadcasting the…

So, this Thursday will mark WEEK 10 which is the end of the regular season for high school football.  Some teams are still playing for a playoff birth, while other teams have next season to look forward to.  The teams that have made the playoffs just want to escape Week 10 with a win and…

I was at Alamo stadium again on Thursday night for the Edison Golden Bears Vs Lanier Voks.  In my 15 years working high school football games, I can probably count on one hand how many Edison games I have seen!   It’s the opposite for Lanier as I have seen them lots of times.    When I…

Last night, I was at my “HOME” stadium of Rutledge for the Judson Rockets Vs San Marcos Rattlers.  With a victory, the Rockets would clinch a playoff spot!  I had a feeling this game was going to be very similar to the Seguin game in week 7.   Could be over early! I arrived at the…

Last night, I was at Gus stadium again for another thrilling district 27-5a game between the Warren Warriors and the O’Connor Panthers.  Both teams had 4 wins and 1 loss in district.  The winner of this game is probably going to up being the 2nd place team in the district (top 4 advance to playoffs)….

On Thursday night, I was not at the Judson Vs Steele game!  I was at the other TV game.  Yes, there was another high school football being played that night.  It was the Holmes Huskies Vs Stevens Falcons from Gustafson stadium.  The winner of this game could end up being the 4th place team in…

Last night, I was at Comalander stadium for the Madison Mavericks Vs Reagan Rattlers.  Both teams had 3 wins and 0 losses in district 26-5a.  The winner of this game could end up being the district champion. I saw Reagan in Week 0 and the got blown away by the Wagner Thunderbirds. I have seen…

Last night, I was at Farris stadium for the O’Connor Panthers Vs Jay Mustangs.  O’Connor’s overall record was 5 wins and 1 loss and they had 4 wins and no losses in district play.  They were number 6 in the E-N Top 10.  Jay’s overall record was 2 wins and 4 losses and they had…

I was at Alamo stadium on Thursday for the Sam Houston Hurricanes Vs Pleasanton Eagles.  This stadium was built in 1940 as part of the Works Progress Administration and hasn’t changed since!  I am very glad the SAISD voters finally approved a bond to renovate the stadium.   The press boxes are all encased in glass…
