Even More Friday Night Lights
Dick Smith's Wimberly Texans are still playing in the cold weather.
The Texans at 5-6 this year won their District after playing a tough preseason schedule.
They defeated San Antonio West Campus in San Antonio last week in a Class 3A Division II bi-district game with a score of 59-7.
The Texans will face Lytle in the Area round at the SAISD Alamo Stadium in San Antonio on Friday.
Good luck to the Texans, Bluecats, and Bulldogs!
Happy Thanksgiving!
More Friday Night Lights
Speaking of Friday night lights Connie Culpepper Massey's son, Cody Williams, is a Senior at Abilene Wylie this year and is a starting Defensive Tackle for those Bulldogs at 6'3" and 265 pounds.
Connie tells me, "He has had a great year and we will are still in the playoffs. We defeated Decatur last week 46-16 and won bi-district. We play Burkburnett this Friday at 7:30 pm at Birdville Stadium in N. Richland Hills."
I know that Connie is proud and we wish the Dogs good luck!

This week's Friday Night Lights
The defending State Champion and #2 ranked Richland Springs Coyotes defeated Lometa Friday in San Saba by an early third quarter score of 54-6. They will face our District Champion May Tigers, who had the last week off, Friday at 7:30 in Comanche and Richland Springs is a 45 point favorite. The Coyotes remain undefeated at 10-0 and the 15th ranked Tigers are 9-1. Note that Richland likes to play in Comanche and considers it their homefield in the playoffs. If I remember correctly there are also undefeated when playing in Comanche.
The runner up from our district, Blanket, also had a bye and will face #3 ranked team from Calvert who defeated Rochelle 64-35 Friday in Gatesville.
Undefeated at 11-0, Calvert is also favored to win over the 4-6 48th ranked Tigers by 45. They will play in Moody Friday at 7:30.
The winners of these Region IV games will face each other next week in the Quarter Finals.
Other games of note: #1 Rule, 11-0, had the week off and will face #12 Happy, 8-3, in Lubbock. Rule is a 45 point favorite in that game.

This is what I call sportsmanship on both sides of the field.
Another good year for Coach Fields... but sometimes you are alone...
Late in the third quarter... fourth down and a little... "Let's go for it Coach... We can make it!"
This says it all for me
Terrance "Mr T" Jackson sure had a great year... shown here behind #8 Jordan Whaley
Fausto "The Amazing Fausto" Maldonado also had a great year...
The rest of the May game photo album is on the Sports Page. Make sure you have plenty of time... there are over 250!
As I look at all the game scores this year I realize that there was only one game that the Mountaineers scored less than 52 points... and that in itself is amazing to me.
Thanks for a great year Mountaineers and thanks for letting me be a small part.
