Hey Hey Mule Fans, how about them Mules!!!!! They "done do'd it" and brought home a WIN!!!
WEEK 1 - ALAMO HEIGHTS 17 and CLARK 3
Our beloved Mules Football team played in the Texas Football Classic in the Alamo Dome on Thursday, September 6th, against the Clark "Cougars" of San Antonio. This game was part of a special series of "high interest" football games played within the Alamo Dome over the course of Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The players of Alamo Heights looked right at home in the Alamo "Heights" Dome (a.k.a. the Alamo Dome) as our gang played three games there last season in the State Play-Offs. The Team looked comfortable, confident and easily tamed the larger school 5A Cougars through a dominating win in most every aspect of the game.
Strong game performances from this reporter's perspective go to:
AGAIN, THE OFFENSIVE LINE, which had a great game last week against Georgetown, turned in another terrific performance, empowering their QB Drew Allen with ample time to pass.
QB DREW ALLEN was selected as Most Valuable Player of the game by the Texas Football Classic Staff. Drew looked solid at QB and continues to improve his timing with the offense. Drew was 9 for 30 passing on the night (most were longer passes for over 20-yards) and had 213-yards passing. This brings Drew to 487-yards passing over two games... a nice start.
BOBBY BROADNAX and CODY COURTNEY are CATCHING MACHINES!!! Bobby had his first TD catch of this season, having 2 catches for 61-yards on the night, and "Circus Catch" Cody caught two 20+ yard passes in succession leading up to a short TD-plunge by Running Back Sergio Acosta right before half time that set the dominating tone for the second half. Cody had 3 catches for 64-yards against Clark.
ANDREW BAILEY KICKED A 42-YARD FIELD GOAL with just a couple of weeks practice under his belt. That is correct sports fans! This is almost a "Rudy" story... Andrew, a Junior this year, chose last year as a Sophomore to exclusively play soccer after being a Kicker in Junior High and during his Freshman year. He was planning to once again exclusively play soccer this year. But, when our All-District Kicker, Ben Pilgrim, a Senior, hurt his back taking him out for a number of weeks just before the season, the call went out to Andrew, and on very short notice he came out of retirement and began kicking again for the Mules Football Team. The beautiful mental picture for this reporter is witnessing Senior Ben Pilgrim so graciously working with his budding prodigy, Andrew, to help him promptly succeed for the benefit of our school. I am SO PROUD OF BOTH BEN AND ANDREW!
SERGIO ACOSTA CARRIED THE BALL 29 TIMES!!!! Not to mention that he had 130-yards rushing... carrying for nearly 30 times is a significant accomplishment that takes incredible heart and conditioning to undertake. Way to go Sergio!
MULES DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFENSE CONTINUES TO IMPRESS. If there is a better all-around defensive unit in the San Antonio area this reporter has yet to see it! A Smart and Fast Defense. Clark was in the Red Zone five times (e.g. inside their own 20-yard line trying to score) and our Mules limited them to only one 3-point field goal. AWESOME!

Relative to clicking on the link above, to work the system most smoothly, what I recommend is to FIRST look at the reduced size photos with their captions, AND THEN click on "slide show" in the upper left corner of the page and let the automated system scroll through all the photos in an much larger viewing format (the captions do not translate through when in slide show mode).
EAST CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT
Next week's home game on Friday, September 14th, against the 5A East Central "Hornets" should be a stiffer challenge than this week's game. The Hornets smacked down Holmes this past Saturday beating them 36-14 with 311 yards rushing and 94 passing. This is a RUNNING TEAM with three fine tail backs. The best of these might be Sophomore, #5 Chris Johnson.
If our defense shuts down the Hornets' running game, then I predict a win by two touchdowns or more (last week's prediction by this reporter was accurate in predicting a 14+ point spread).
