Congrats, San Saba
San Saba may isn't in the circulation area of the Reporter-News. Nonetheless, the Armadillos were involved in the Big Country Game of the Week on Friday, when they hosted one of our area teams, the Bangs Dragons.
Final score: San Saba 17, Bangs 14 in overtime -- pushing the Dillos to 5-1 on the year and 2-0 in district play.
Keep in mind, San Saba hasn't had a winning season since 2000. It hasn't sniffed the post-season since 2003, and it had lost to Bangs -- the defending district champs -- seven straight times dating back to 2002 by an average margin of 40-7.
In short, Friday's win was nothing less than huge for San Saba, and might be the biggest victory the Dillos have seen in 10 years.
Congratulations to San Saba coach John Pannell, and a special thanks to his pressbox crew, which went out of its way to make visiting media feel welcome.
See you on the road.
