So, last night, I was at New Braunfels Canyon stadium for the New Braunfels Canyon Cougars and the Judson Rockets.  Did you know the turf at Canyon stadium is red?  This was my first time seeing the red turf and it is actually pretty cool and really red!!! The last time I was at Canyon…

Last night, I was at Boerne stadium for the final TNL game this season between the Canyon Lake Hawks and the Boerne Greyhounds.  When I saw the TNL schedule early in the summer, I was really excited for this particular game. I knew this would be my first time seeing either of these schools play…

On Thursday night, I was at Lehnhoff stadium in Schertz, TX for a HUGE District 28-5A game between the East Central Hornets and the undefeated Steele Knights.  The winner of this game is likely going to be the district champion.  Both of these teams have outstanding running backs…Justin Stockton from Steele and Chris Armstrong, Johnathan…

On Thursday night, I was at Hornet stadium as the East Central Hornets played the Southwest Dragons.  I was actually planning on publishing pictures from the game instead of my words, but I wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the pictures.  We were in an enclosed booth with a very dirty window.  One of my…

On Friday night, I was at Rutledge stadium as the Smithson Valley Rangers played the Judson Rockets.  Coming into the game, the Rangers were undefeated and the Rockets had won 4 games in a row.   I was expecting a battle and a really close game and of course a Judson victory by a nail. …

On Friday night, I was at Rutledge stadium for the Hammer Bowl which features the two high schools in the Judson Independent School District…the Judson Rockets and the Wagner Thunderbirds. So, you are probably very interested in why this game is called the Hammer Bowl? Well, I will educate you!!!  Cory Sears was a former…

On Thursday night, I was at Farris stadium for the 6th time this season for my 6th District 27-5A game between the Jay Mustangs and the Taft Raiders.  I left work at 5:00…281 and Stone Oak Pkwy.  It took me 30 minutes to go 5 miles!!!!  That 5 miles was 1604 and Stone Oak Pkwy!!! …

Last night, I was at Farris stadium for my 6th District 27-5A game already this season between the O’Connor Panthers and the Marshall Rams.  It is always strange when O’Connor is the visiting team cause there campus is literally across the highway!!!  Brandeis is even closer to Farris as the stadium is in the Brandeis…

On Thursday, I was at Alamo stadium for a District 28-4A game between the Brennan Bears and the Brackenridge Eagles.  This was my first time seeing these teams this season and I was really excited to finally see Brennan!!  Even though Brennan is the newest High School in the Northside Independent School District, they don’t…

I spent 2 1/2 hours at the car dealership this morning and when that was done, I stopped by a local market to see my wife and brought her some much needed food and drink.  While I was the car dealership, I jotted a few notes down about the game last night.  Now, let’s see…

Last night, I was at Rutledge stadium as the Wagner Thunderbirds hosted Monterrey Tech.  If you have never heard of Monterrey Tech, you are not alone as I had no clue either!!!  I had to do some extensive research…well, they are a team from Mexico and they have already played 4 other Texas high school…

On Thursday and Friday night, I worked 2 more District 27-5A games.  In Week 2, I worked Clark/O’Connor and Brandeis/Warren.  Last week on Thursday Night Lights, I worked Holmes/Marshall.  I get another one in Week 7 for Thursday Night Lights for Jay/Taft!!  And, probably a few more District 27-5A games on the Texas Sports Radio…

Last night, I was at Rutledge stadium for the East Central Hornets and the Judson Rockets. I mentioned in my article yesterday that I was shocked that the Hornets were ranked so high by the SanAntonio Express News in the preseason rankings. East Central’s star running back, Chris Armstrong, didn’t play so it was hard…

Last night, I was at Farris stadium for a District 27-5A match-up between the Holmes Huskies and Marshall Rams.  Marshall was featured in Week 6 on Thursday Night Lights last season and that particular game had what I considered the best finish of any of our television games.   Kids dream about kicking a game winning…

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…

Last night, I was at Farris stadium for a District 27-5A game between the Clark Cougars and the O’Connor Panthers.  On Thursday night, I worked a game that was canceled in the 3rd quarter due to weather.  That was the 2nd time that has happened to me since I started this gig in 1997.  Well,…

Last night, I was as at the Spring Sports complex for the Pleasanton Eagles Vs Lanier Voks. The last Lanier game I worked was last season was on Thursday Night Lights.  In that game the running back, Isaac Cervantes, had 28 carries for 210 yards and 1 touchdown; incredible.   But, he got injured  in the…
