Timeless........

Random thoughts about the entire Thanksgiving weekend.

I am just in awe about all the good football we have been able to be a part of. High school football is such an interest for me to follow. It helps that Sweetwater has such a winning tradition. I couldn't write anything of significance with all that went on this weekend. I just have isolated random thoughts on how great it was. For example:

Russell Clayton's TD catch in OT....was HUGE!!!

Joseph Banyard fielding an IP punt that was a line drive..and he snagged it one-handed.

How did Parker Morrow feel trotting out to kick the extra point with the score 21-20? What a performance.

How bout Justin Adames and all the defense he brought in the game?

How bout the offensive and defensive line fighting tooth and nail against those big monsters? Excellent!

How bout the post game interview with Coach Kent Jackson..? Coach Jackson was crying and saying this was his greatest moment in high school football? Remarkable...Just incredible.

How bout Sweetwater now being the lone survivor in District 4-3A since Wylie lost this evening?

I wonder if Monahans knows how close they came to sitting at home next week? The Bridgeport runner came up just a few inches short that would have won the game for them, instead the game went into OT.

How bout the Aggies playing Texas tooth and nail most of the day?

Even the Cowboys went into OT this week.

How do our friends feel over in Snyder tonight?

I was thinking that when the season started, we were playing teams like Pecos and Andrews, and now we are playing teams like Iowa Park and Monahans and the Jet Sweep still is a great play.

Next week are the Region Finals....Sweetwater is only 1 of 8 teams still alive in in 3A...what an accomplishment!

I listen to the games on the internet..it's heart warming to hear the Mustang crowd and that big ol railroad engine horn...that is cool!

I hear names of players and I went to school with their parents. Hello Robert Clark!!

I think about how it's much easier it is to follow Sweetwater now thanks to the internet.

I think about ALL the Mustang players..linemen, defense, kicker, all of the team and how much they are a team. Always talking good about one another...everyone is for the team.

I wish I could see a Mustang game this year. With Monahans winning...it moves that game further west for me. If we get by Monahans..then I'll have a shot for sure.

It wasn't very common when both Abilene High and Abilene Wylie lost on the same weekend.

I'll think of more stuff later. This has just been rumbling around my head.

Well, Lew, I have some of those same thoughts. Naturally about the team and how proud I am of their accomplishments. They just seem to find a way to win. The coaching staff. They are so awesome. How fortunate we are to have them working our sideline.But I think of you also and what you bring every week to Mustang football. Thanks Lew, I look forward to pulling it up and reading all the commnets, especially yours.

Hey Lew
The next game is a big one. AS all of them are! And of course I wish Snyder was their, (probably in big Spring. But it will be Monahans instead. And at first I did'nt think they were for real and now I'am reconsidering, I think both teams will have to play good ball to WIN!I want to wish yall both good luck, but deepdown I will be rooting for our district. (don't tell anyone)lol
And being 1 of 8 teams left in the State of Texas, one can only say wow, I know last year was wonderful to an old Tiger, I never thought I would see it, but their is a new attitude (winning), in Snyder and our rivalry with Sweetwater will never Die, (Breed in our kids)lol but this year have been different, it's not just
Football,it's 4-3A Football!!!! Add some Monahans people have been talking noise on other webs, (Ft. Stockton) lol (I think you know what I am talking about)and by no way am I talking about all of Monahans just a few (we were overrated)and I guess that they were underrated. Anyway; I wish yall the best of luck and win for the your self first and then for the district.
And like I said before, I never thought I would root for the Mustangs but after meeting you on the blog's I have developed a new respect for yall (untill we play each other)LOL
Go Sweetwater, play like a champion!!!!!!!
