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…

The Judson Rockets played the Seguin Matadors last night in Seguin. This was by far the farthest I had to drive to get to a football game this season!  I thought it was strange that I had to drive by Rutledge stadium in Converse on my way to Seguin. So, how would the Rockets respond…

Last night, I was at Heroes stadium for the Madison Mavericks Vs Roosevelt Rough Riders.  Both teams were undefeated in district play.  I was really looking forward to seeing the Mavericks again after they whipped Johnson last week. San Antonio has been in a drought all year but yesterday it rained all day.  It would…

Thursday night, I was at the Taft Raiders Vs Marshall Rams.  One of these teams was going to get there first victory of the season so I was expecting a really competitive game. My dad came to the game and hung out with me.  He took a lot of pictures.  He also got me some…

Last night, I was at Gustafson stadium for the Warren Warriors Vs Stevens Falcons.  Mark Thomas did play-by-play and Virgil Peterson did the color. It was nice to work with Mark Thomas again.  He worked for TSRN a long time ago.  We did a lot of games together.  I have also worked a lot of…

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…

On Thursday, I was at Farris stadium for the O’Connor Panthers Vs Taft Raiders.  This was a TV game for me but Bobby and Eric were broadcasting the game along the Texas Sports Radio Network. I helped Bobby before, during, and after the game by hanging the banner, texting stats and scoring drives, and help…

Before I start talking about the game last night, I really need to give a HUGE THANKS to Mark Kusenberger and Eric Johnson.  Mark and Eric were the broadcasters for the game.  They talked about my blog and provided the address over the INTERNET!!!  Wow, I got some free advertising!  I know people read it,…

On Thursday, I got my first opportunity to see the defending state champions, the Steele Knights.  I was super psyched and excited!  I know they lost several key players, but they had Tommy Armstrong (the starting quarterback) and Justin Stockton (running back) returning. Tommy is very athletic and can run and pass very efficiently.  He…

My radio boss, Bobby, wanted me to set up the radio equipment for our game last might since he would be coaching his youth football team all day on Saturday.   I said of course and took the equipment after our game on Friday night. Bobby trusts me and knows that I won’t go home and…

Thursday night, I was at Hornet stadium.  This stadium is literally in the middle of nowhere!  You drive and drive and drive and all of a sudden, there are stadium lights and a nice looking high school.  I have only been up here a few times and the school athletic officials are always super helpful…

I anticipated this week soon after the Cibolo Steele Knights won then 2010 5A Division II state championship. I was already imagining all the student athletes who would be returning to there respective teams and getting excited for next season! I was salivating at these thoughts and couldn’t wait for the San Antonio Express News High School football preview to…

I am ready for high school football!! Week 0 starts next week and I am super excited!!!  High school football in Texas is amazing and awesome and energizing!!!!  I don’t really care for college or NFL football.  I do pay attention and know whats happening and I will watch it on television, but that is…
