Weslaco Panther Playoffs

McAllen @ Weslaco

Weslaco High School, my alma mater, is now in the regional playoffs. My brother is a junior and second-year starter on the defense. He's in the clip above recovering a fumble. I'm so proud of him and this team.

The area game was in Weslaco this past Friday. It was misting constantly and in the 40s, but the excitement of the game kept us warm. The stands were filled with yellow ponchos, blankets and people carefully walking up the wet bleacher steps with watery, concession-stand hot chocolate.

The game was close. Final score 40-38. Injuries and interceptions. Fumbles and sacs. I forgot how much fun high-school, TEXAS football was!
