The SPHS Tiger Band is participating in the KEYE Marching Band Challenge. This internet-based competition is being sponsored by our local KEYE television station with the winner receiving a monetary award. You can view a portion of our UIL show through this link: http://keyetv.com/mbc/. If you would just like to cast your vote, use this link: http://keyetv.com/mbcvote/. In addition, KEYE will be coming to our school one morning during November to do a live broadcast. Watch for more information on this to come. Even if you’re not in the area or state, you can still vote for us. (The website says one vote per person but I don’t think that’s actually the case….) It would be nice to finish up the winning season winning this as well! Thanks.

A better season.

WE WON!!!
Stony Point HS beat McNeil HS in the last 14 SECONDS of the game tonight!!! It was SOOOOO exciting. I can barely stand it.

If we win next week, we are absolutely going to the playoffs…no ties! Wow, who would have thought.

This semester/school year is turning out to be better than it started. Thank goodness!

——————-UPDATE——————-
29 seconds left in the game before Stony Point quarterback Brandon Martin — who had completed just 1 of 16 passes to that point — drove the Tigers 80 yards, ending in a 1-yard touchdown pass to Cedric Alexander for an 18-17 win. (From the Austin American Statesman)

Article about the game

All this football in one post!!!

The Bobcats are going to the playoffs!!! They’ve won every game except the one against Texas A&M. And they gave those Aggies a run for their money!!! I was planning on going to a game this season, even before this news, but now, Skip & I are absolutely going to one of the last two home games.

Luckily, one of those home games doesn’t conflict with UT vs. Kansas on 11/12. I’m really excited about that game, too. After all these years of babysitting and helping raise him, I actually get to see Aaron Hudson march with a college band!!!!

On another football note, the Tigers of SPHS are doing well, too! If we win the next two games and all the other teams in the district continue with their win/loss patterns they’ve set this season, we’ll be tied for 3rd in the district. This means we actually have a chance at a play off game ourselves!! I’m so absolutely proud of these Tigers. I thought it might not happen until at least next year but these guys are kicking ass and taking names. Good job!!

That’s sports for now. Signing off, this is Big Benford! (LOL)
