HS Football Week 9

What a great win Friday night.  We have made so much improvement in the past few weeks and continue to close the gap.  It was really a team win on Friday night.  We got great contributions from every part of the game.  Special teams were the best they have ever been even when dealing with a lot of wind.  The onside kick recover and perfect extra points by Nealy, along with Will Echol’s punting and our hands team coming up with every kickoff.  We forced turnovers on defense and made big plays on offense.  Frank Aufmuth broke the school record for catches with 53 and counting which is really is a team effort. We even had some success running the ball and out rushed our opponents for the first time this season.  My personal highlight for the night was winning the sideline battle in large part due to three freshman (Cale, Adam, and Chris) who learned you can impact a game even without playing.

I am looking forward to another great week of practice and the opportunity to take the show on the road to Rosehill.  Rosehill is playing 11 man football for the first time this season and they are showing great improvement each week.  They got their first district win last night against Galveston.

Senior Dinner

I will be taking the seniors out for our annual steak dinner after practice on Thursday, November 8 before we play Galveston on senior night.

Playoffs - Thanksgiving

We will be in the playoffs if we play our football the next two weeks.  We will play on the road but I think we will be the favorite.  This means that we would be playing the Saturday after Thanksgiving and practicing during the week of Thanksgiving like we did last year.  We will not have practice on Thanksgiving Day.

Game Recap and Blue Shirt Warriors

Each week we select a player that has closed the gap the most during that week.  They will get a special t-shirt and their picture is on the box score page for that week’s game.  Click here to see this week’s selection.  You can also see pictures and video.

Radio Broadcast

The radio broadcast guy had some technical difficulties so I am not sure how much of the game actually got done.  If things had worked as planned it would be up on the TSRN website to listen to but I am not sure since he had to broadcast by phone.
