I was expecting to back on board with the St. Anthony football team for the 2017 season, but there were several changes in the leadership and I wasn’t a priority. I know they wanted me back and I am very grateful for the opportunity they gave me last season. I am not saying goodbye to them because one of the teams I am planning on covering will definitely be St. Anthony.
So, I will be covering other games and those games will likely be chosen on a weekly basis. I am not planning on covering big time schools like Judson or Steele, because they get enough coverage and I really want to focus on the smaller schools.
Oh, no matter what, my 1st game won’t be until Week 2; my wife’s birthday is during opening week and I promised her no games.
My first game will be on Thursday, September 7th and it will be the Blanco Panthers at Holy Cross Knights at the Wheatley Heights Sports Complex. It will be my 1st time seeing the Blanco Panthers, one of the top 3A football programs in the state of Texas. Why Holy Cross? Well, the Principal at Holy Cross was the Principal at St. Anthony and he is the one who brought me on last year; with pay, to cover the St. Anthony football team. It’s my way of saying thanks.
