On Thursday night, I was at Farris stadium for the Alamo Heights Mules and the Clark Cougars.  This was my first visit to Farris this year and at first I thought they were building a basketball stadium, but Ernie told me it is actually another aquatic venue which the school district will use to attract…

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…

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…

Warren Vs MacArthur On Thursday night, I was at Heroes stadium for the first Thursday Night Lights game this season between the Warren Warriors and the MacArthur Brahmas.  The television games are broadcasted by Ernie Zuniga and Wane McGarity.  This is my 4th year working alongside Ernie.  That first game four years ago, I was…

Since my last post last Sunday, I have been relaxing and watching a whole lot of Netflix!!!  I blame my wife, but I am addicted to a Showtime series called Weeds.  I am almost done with Season 3…there are 8 seasons!!!  She wants me to watch Dexter and Battlestar Galactica!!  I want to watch Falling…

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…

The Madison Mavericks are my “backyard team!”  The Madison campus is less than 5 minutes from our house.  Two weeks ago, my wife and I drove by the school and I saw the band practicing…that means one thing:  FOOTBAL!!!  I got goosebumps!!!   FIFTEEN DAYS!!!!!!!! Out of all the High School football teams I have talked…

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.  Man, they really have a tough schedule.  It seems like every year, the Rangers make it to the playoffs with either one loss or an undefeated…

This year marks year number 5 for the Brandeis Broncos. Year 1…4 wins and 6 losses Year 2…12 wins and 2 losses Year 3…12 wins 3 losses (lost to Cibolo Steele in the playoffs) Year 4…11 wins and 2 losses (lost to Cibolo Steele in the playoffs) Those are some pretty amazing numbers.  Wow!!!  I…

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…

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;…

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…

High School football season is a month away, so I thought I would share how I got started as statistician for radio and television.   I will start with radio since I have been doing it for a very very long time.  Next week on my BLOG, I will have my write-up of the Texas…

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…

Judson is my “home team” as I have been working there High School football games for several years alongside Bobby Stautzenberger and Tony Franklin.  Bobby and Tony are an amazing broadcasting team and the three of us get along like we are family.  Besides Bobby (he owns the local affiliate of TSRNsports.com), I have the…

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…

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.  I do have lots of experience as a High School football statistician for radio and TV.  No. 10 Kerrville Tivy It…
