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….
Week 13 – Preview of Brennan VS Steele
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 12 – Reagan vs Smithson Valley AND Stevens vs East Central
On Saturday, I worked 2 first round playoff games…the first was the Reagan Rattlers and Smithson Valley Rangers at Farris stadium and the other one was the Stevens Falcons and the East Central Hornets at Gustafson stadium. The winners of both games will play each other next week. Man, I couldn’t have been more…
Week 12 – Preview of Reagan VS Smithson Valley
On Saturday, I will be working Reagan vs Smithson Valley at Farris stadium AND East Central vs Stevens at Gustafson stadium. Yeah, it will be a fun and busy double-header for me and I can’t wait. I always write BLOG’s after I work each game but since I have time, I decided to write a…
Week 11 – Johnson VS MacArthur and Steele VS New Braunfels Canyon
On Thursday, I was at Heroes stadium for the last Thursday Night Lights TV game of this season (well, actually, we got 1 more TV game and that will be the San Antonio Sports All-Star Football game on January 3rd at the Alamodome after the US Army All American Bowl). Man, I can’t wait for…
Week 10 – Warren VS Taft/Brennan VS Stevens
On Thursday and Friday, I was at Gustafson stadium for 2 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT District 27-6A Zone A games. Coming into Week 10, these were the standings in that particular zone: Brennan (8-0, 3-0), Stevens (6-2, 3-0), Taft (3-5, 1-2), Warren (3-5, 1-2), and Jay (2-6, 0-4). The Thursday game was Warren and Taft (which so…
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,…
Week 9 – Holmes Huskies VS Marshall Rams
On Thursday, I was at Gustafson stadium as the Marshall Rams played the Holmes Huskies. Coming into the game, the Rams had 2 wins and Holmes was winless. Now, if I could jump in my TIME MACHINE and go back about 20 or 25 years ago, this match-up would’ve easily been the MARQUEE game of…
Week 8 – Stevens Falcons vs Taft Raiders
My Thursday and Friday games had some incredible individual stats. Antonio Lopez, the Brackenridge Eagle quarterback, was 16 of 27 passing for 299 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Receiver, Lee Terrell, had 6 receptions for 174 yards. Terrell is now number 1 and Lopez is still number 2 (about 300 yards behind Kyle…
Week 8 – McCollum Cowboys vs Brackenridge Eagles AND Central Catholic Buttons vs Antonian Apaches
On Wednesday night, I was glancing at the leading High School football stat leaders for passing yards, receiving yards, and rushing yards. The Brackenridge Eagles (who I saw play on Thursday night) have a quarterback/receiver combination who coming into the Thursday game were both 2nd in their respective categories. The quarterback is Antonio Lopez and…
Week 7 – Highlands Owls VS Sam Houston Hurricanes
On Thursday night, I was at Alamo stadium as the Highlands Owls played the Sam Houston Hurricanes. Even though I got to see and photograph the Alamo stadium renovations basically from start to finish, this was my first time to see a football game there and I must say, it was pretty awesome!!! I hope…
Week 6 – Clemens Buffaloes VS Steele Knights
The Steele Knights and Clemens Buffaloes played at Lehnoff stadium on Friday night. This game was big brother (Clemens) VS little brother (Steele)!! They are also neighborhood rivals and are finally together in the same district (25-6A). My radio boss, Bobby, kept referring this game as “the battle of 3009″, but their has to be…
Week 5 – Steele Knights VS Smithson Valley Rangers
On Friday night, I was at Ranger stadium as the Smithson Valley Rangers hosted the Cibolo Steele Knights. After several years of hoping and wishing for this match-up, we finally get it and it just happened to be the first 25-6A district game for both teams. Before I dive into the game and provide a…
Week 5 – Jay vs O’Connor
On Thursday night, I was at Farris stadium as the O’Connor Panthers hosted the Jay Mustangs. The Mustangs have a quarterback, Moses Reynolds, who is on my list of players to watch. Last year as a sophomore, Reynolds had 1,416 yards passing and 796 rushing yards with 23 total touchdowns. In 5 games this season,…
Week 4 – Antonian Apaches at Boerne Greyhounds
On Thursday night, I was at Boerne stadium as the Boerne Greyhounds hosted the Antonian Apaches. When the CW35 Thursday Night Lights schedule was released, I was very excited to see this particular game. Mainly because Antonian is a small private Catholic school (this was also the first time a TAPPS school has been on…
Week 4 – Brennan Bears at Judson Rockets
Last night, I was at Rutledge stadium as the Judson Rockets hosted the Brennan Bears. For those of you who were in a bubble last year, the Bears only loss last season came in the state championship game!!! Brennan’s first year of football was 2010 and they went winless. In 2011, they had 7 wins…
