By Sean Wolfson Sugar Land baseball icon Ray Hammond, 41, passed away early Sunday morning surrounded by family. Ray was very instrumental in the development of baseball players in this area at the youth level. He helped numerous players receive scholarships to play high school baseball. Ray was a family man of quality character and [...]
If the Pearland Oilers were looking for respect based on last year’s accomplishments, Hightower wasn’t willing to listen. And they shouldn’t. What you earn in the past, means nothing today, and Hightower proved that with a 35-14 spanking of the defending state champs last Saturday at Tully stadium. Two words describe this game … BUTT [...]
By Sean Wolfson Well folks, both teams, Elkins Knights and Dulles Vikings got absolutely blown off the playoff map last weekend. Pearland looked like the state champion that they are and sent Elkins packing in Alvin, and Clear Springs ate Dulles at Pasadena Memorial stadium. Here are my picks for best players, coaching, and other [...]
By Sean Wolfson Last weekend, two local games had major playoff influence. First, Dulles took on Marshall. Whichever team won would take home the 4th seed in the FBISD playoff race. Elkins was trying to hold on to their 2nd seed against Travis. Dulles vs Marshall Marshall would bust loose for a touchdown quickly against [...]
The stage was set Friday night at Hall stadium for an intense rivalry game between the Marshall Buffalos and the Elkins Knights. Both teams were 1-1 in district, and playoffs were in both of their plans. Jawuan Rogers, Jake Burkhalter, Chance Allen, and the rest of the Knights made it a shootout, and what a [...]
The mighty Dulles Vikings, led by the longest hired football coach in FBISD Jim Creech, rallied to shake up the district playoff race Saturday night as they beat up on the Travis Tigers in a game most followers gave Dulles no chance to even be in. After watching Teagan Nehls rip up FB Austin last [...]
By Sean Wolfson On a night that would be perfect for trick or treating, the Travis Tigers took to the astroturf covered Mercer Stadium Friday night to battle with the unpredictable Austin Buldogs. This game was for bragging rights, with both teams families growing up together. Coach Randy Cunningham came into the season with high [...]
By Sean Wolfson The scene, Friday evening at Mercer stadium, home of many great rivalry games in Fort Bend ISD. In recent years, no rivalry has been bigger than “E’s house” vs “C’s house.” They go at it like turkeys on June bugs. This one would be no different. The 1st quarter was by far [...]
By Sean Wolfson Friday night lights produced a good one last weekend at Mercer stadium in Sugar Land. Kick-off at 7:01 p.m. and a breezy 89 degrees set the tone for a nice evening of high school football. The Bush fan base was light but that didn’t seem to hurt them at all. Kempner had [...]
By Sean Wolfson On a beautiful night for football, the battle between Clements and Aldine ensued. Kickoff time was 6:58pm. This was the sharpest dressed referee crew I’ve seen in two years, which instills confidence in the players and coaches. I have never seen the Ranger fans so pumped up for a game. They were [...]
