One Heartbeat!!

What a game. I knew that after the first drive took off 8:31, the Tascosa Rebels would be in for a long day. And that certainly was the case. A great 48-14 win. I was very pleased with the way that we played. I will tip my hat to the Rebel defense those first couple of plays out of the gate. It seemed like they were prepared for us. But then it just fell apart for Amarillo.
Once again the Warbird Defense did an excellent job. I believe that the Defense only gave up 2 first downs in the first half of play. That’s saying a lot right there. The rest of the first downs for Tascosa were mostly against the backups and the backups of the backups. You know you played a great game when 3rd and 4th stringers get in there. And how about that heads up play by Adan Martinez. He will be replaying that touchdown over and over in his head for as long as he lives.
And how about that Eagle O. They all did an excellent job picking apart the Rebels putting up just over 400 yards. I know that those boys are thrilled. I can only imagine what next week is going to be like. I’m guessing a lot of the same things. Our entire team is one well oiled machine right now. I don’t see anyone knocking us off at this point in time.
This win puts us up against the DeSoto Eagles. We played them in the third round back in 1999 and then again for the first round in 2002. We beat them both times. Although I am very ecstatic about us NOT playing Southlake, I’m not so thrilled that we have to play DeSoto in Brownwood. But it is better than playing them in their backyard at Texas Stadium.
