Tag: High School Football

It is June 19th; High School football doesn’t start until August 30th!!!  That is 73 days (you can thank Mark, the statman, for that incredible number). It will be my 4th year as a statistician for KMYS (television) and my 16th year as a statistician for the Texas Sports Radio Network (radio).  Wow, that is…

Last night, I was at Comalander stadium for the 34th Annual All Star Football game.  I love working this game because I get to see the top San Antonio Senior’s from the 2011 season play high school football one last time. Even though I worked 33 games last season, I didn’t see a lot of…

On Wednesday, February 1st, high school athletes around San Antonio had there opportunity to tell us where they will be attending college!  Family, coaches, other students, and the local media joined the student athletes for there decision. Must be pretty awesome to be good at something and have a college offer you a scholarship to…

On Thursday, February 2nd, the UIL announced the 2012-2014 realignment, which is based on the enrollment numbers for each high school.  Basically what this means is that some schools will go to a new District or change classifications (Texas has 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, and 1A).   This didn’t get as much publicity as signing day…

I came up with this brilliant idea to write about all the high school football games I worked 5 months ago.  Not sure why I didn’t do this in previous years.   Blogging kept me busy on the weekends and away from trouble! I hope you found my high school football writing insightful.  I really…

Last night, I was at Cowboys stadium in Arlington for the 5A Division II high school football state championship between our Steele Knights and the Spring Dekaney Wildcats. This was the 9th game played at the stadium since Thursday! Pretty cool to have one location for most of the championship games! I left yesterday at…

Yesterday afternoon, I was at Reliant stadium in Houston for the Steele Knights vs the Port Arthur Memorial Titans.  I drove up with Mark Kusenberger and our journey started at 9:30am and didn’t end till 11:45pm!  After the game concluded, we really wanted to get home to our family so we didn’t go to the…

Last Friday, December 2nd, the Madison Mavericks beat the Harlingen Cardinals 42-27. On December 3rd, the Steele Knights defeated the Reagan Rattlers 35-10.  I thought Reagan would be able to hang with them.  Obviously by the score, I was totally wrong.  Also that same day, the Devine Warhorses were eliminated. So, for Week 15, we…

In my Week 13 blog, I prayed to the “Football Gods” for a game on Friday, December 2nd.  Well, I got my wish but the location is in Kingsville, Texas which is about a 3 hour drive! If it was an hour drive, I would do it!  Stupid Kingsville!  I guess next time, I will…

Well, this weekend, I will get a break from high school football!  All of the teams TSRNsports are following are on the road.  It will be very strange being home on a Friday night! But, it will also be nice as I can be lazy Mark!  Will probably watch some movies (Fight Club, Iron Man,…

Last night, I was at Heroes stadium for the Steele Knights and the Brandeis Broncos in the 2nd round of the 5A playoffs.  On my drive to Heroes, I saw some fans for the Lake Travis Cavaliers (they were playing in the Alamodome), I saw the Lake Travis band truck, I passed Comalander stadium (Warren…

This afternoon, I was at Heroes stadium again for a 2nd round 5A playoff game between the Reagan Rattlers and the O’Connor Panthers.  This was the second time I had to wear my sunglasses during a football game.  The first was last years state championship game at Cowboy’s stadium.  No, I wasn’t trying to look…

 Heroes stadium will be my home on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.  I get to see the Steele Knights take on the Brandeis Broncos and the Reagan Rattlers take on the O’Connor Panthers.  Wow!  I am super pumped up and excited! Tommy Armstrong, the Steele quarterback has committed to play for NEBRASKA!   He hasn’t…

I am not going to Floresville stadium tomorrow night.  I was really looking forward to this game.  My stupid back has been hurting on and off and today was the icing on the cake.  I had enough!  I know driving over 100 miles tomorrow night and standing during the game will not be a good…

On Thursday, I am going to Floresville stadium for a 1A division 1 playoff game between the Kenedy Lions and the Shiner Comanches.  I got to thank Mark Thomas for requesting me to work this game.  He does some freelance work for the radio station that is broadcasting the game.  This will be my first…

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…

Last night, I was at Unicorn stadium in New Braunfels as they hosted the Judson Rockets.  This was my first time at that particular stadium and it was a great feeling when I saw the stadium lights on Loop 337!!!   This was also the last TNL game! My radio boss, Bobby Stautzenberger, was broadcasting the…

So, this Thursday will mark WEEK 10 which is the end of the regular season for high school football.  Some teams are still playing for a playoff birth, while other teams have next season to look forward to.  The teams that have made the playoffs just want to escape Week 10 with a win and…
