Week 10 – Clark Vs O’Connor

Posted on 11/05/201111/04/2025 by Mark

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…

Posted on 10/29/201111/04/2025 by Mark

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…

Posted on 10/15/201111/04/2025 by Mark

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…

week 7 – judson vs seguin

Posted on 10/15/201111/04/2025 by Mark

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…

Posted on 09/17/201111/04/2025 by Mark

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…
