Week 3 – East Central Hornets vs Judson Rockets
Last night, I was at Rutledge stadium for the East Central Hornets and the Judson Rockets.

Week 3 – Holmes Huskies Vs Marshall Rams
Last night, I was at Farris stadium for a District 27-5A match-up between the Holmes Huskies and Marshall Rams.

Kids dream about kicking a game winning…
Week 2 – Brandeis Broncos vs Warren Warriors
Last night, I was at Gustafson stadium for the Warren Warriors and Brandeis Broncos in a District 27-5A showdown. I was so relieved when I found out that Warren was the home team and that meant purple jerseys with white numbers…easy to see!!! Not like the game I worked in Week 0 when they wore…

Week 1 – Alamo Heights Vs Clark

Week 1 – Judson Vs Steele
I was at a packed Lehnfoff stadium on Friday for the Judson Rockets and the Steele Knights. I expected Judson to play better than they did last week when they got crushed by Lake Travis. I didn’t expect Judson to score 35 points and be tied with Steele late in the game. Had Judson not…

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…
