Inside the Huddle is a place for my friends to write and share their passion for High School football.

I am looking forward to…

Week 0 – Wagner Vs Reagan
Last night, I was at Comalander stadium for the Wagner Thunderbirds and the Reagan Rattlers. Last years game between these two teams produced 68 total points and 923 yards of total offense. This year, however, was a defensive masterpiece by both teams and was also the best game I worked in Week 0. In the…

Number 1 Steele Knights – Preseason Rankings from the Express News
I didn’t expect any other team but the Cibolo Steele Knights to be ranked number 1 in the preseason by the San Antonio Express. I mean, they were last team standing last season. But, the bigger question is, can the Steele Knights remain at this spot throughout the season? Anything can happen and that is…
No 2 Madison Mavericks – Preseason Rankings from the Express News
The Madison Mavericks are my “backyard team!” The Madison campus is less than 5 minutes from our house.

Out of all the High School football teams I have talked…
No 3 Smithson Valley Rangers – Preseason Rankings from the Express News
Welcome back to 5A football Smithson Valley. Good luck in district play against the Wagner Thunderbirds and the Judson Rockets. And, in non-district the Rangers play Brandeis and Madison.

How I got started as a TV statistician
I remember reading the press release in the San Antonio Express News that KMYS was going to broadcast Thursday night high school football games on television. I had my Thursday nights available as I only had radio games on Friday’s and Saturday’s. I was excited about this opportunity and wanted to become a part of…
No 5 East Central Hornets – Preseason Rankings from the Express News
The East Central Hornets are rated number 5 by the Express News for the preseason rankings! Really. Why? Can you tell that I am really shocked? I was totally not expecting this! I am going to work at least 3 East Central games this season. Two of them are television games for Thursday Night Lights;…
Texas High School Coaches Association All Star football game
Last night, I was at the Alamodome for the Texas High School Coaches Association all star football game. The Alamodome is one of my favorite stadiums for high school football. No matter what the attendance is, it is always loud! I have seen the Dome full of 60,000 screaming college fans for an Alamo Bowl…
How I got started as a Radio Statistician

No 7 O’Connor Panthers – Preseason Rankings from the Express News
I am telling you now, the O’Connor Panthers will have an opportunity to make a long playoff run this season. They are young and bring back a lot of experience. On offense, Tre Johnson will get most of the touches; he is fast. Last season, he had 96 carries for 835 yards and 7 touchdowns…

athletes and bathrooms
Have you ever seen an athlete run away during the game to use the bathroom? Probably not! Baseball is the only sport where an athlete can disappear in the clubhouse during the game and take a dump or a leak. We, the audience, have no clue!! Football and hockey players will likely need help getting…
Number 9 Brennan Bears
No 9 Brennan Bears I was shocked to see Brennan ranked this high; I mean, they have only been playing varsity football for two years! They went winless in the first year and improved to 7 wins and 4 losses (1 loss in district play to the Kerrville Tivy Antlers) last season. This season, they…
Why do Athlete’s do stupid things?
1. Because they can! 2. Because they have a lot of money! 3. Because they don’t give a crap about the consequences! 4. Because they think with their balls (no pun intended) (thanks dad for coming up with that one)! Something stupid can mean saying something mean, writing something mean, using your middle finger…
No 10 Kerrville Tivy – Preseason Rankings from the Express News
You can tell that High School football is just around the corner when the San Antonio Express News has “Preseason Rankings!” I figured why not provide my thoughts on each team that they ranked.
