LaPorte Texans -vs- Deer Park Tigers

What an incredible game today! With playoff positions on the line, the LaPorte Texans swaggered into hostile territory as they invaded the Deer Park Tigers home field.

Both teams seemed tight at first with both defenses dominating play. The Tigers jumped out to an 8-0 lead, but it was short lived as Nathan Redd scored from 45 yards out. Dustin Escobar hit Caleb Longoria for the 2-point conversion tying the game at 8. Right toward the end of the first half – Deer Park mounted a drive deep into Texan territory only to see the half come to an end with a tie at 8. Eric Kendzior made a touchdown saving tackle on that drive.

The Texan defense tightened during the second half with 2 interceptions of Deer Park passes. Justin Flores and Caleb Longoria each intercepted the ball on fantastic defensive plays. Ty Chambers also broke up a pass and made some fantastic tackles in the backfield!

The offense got on tract to score 12 unanswered points with pounding runs from Lupe Gonzales and punishing runs from Nathan Redd. The Deer Park defense of the first half wilted under the tireless pounding they were taking from the blocking of the Texans offensive line.

At the end of the game, the Texans were again victorious, 20-8. They are the runner-up Champions of the AFC Conference in the Freshman TIFI League with a conference record of 8 wins 1 loss and overall record of 8 wins and 2 losses.

It was great to see Tyler Bozant back on the field today!

Now it is on to the Playoffs! Great game guys!

LaPorte Texans -vs- Galveston Hurricanes

What an incredibly bruising game! The Hurricanes had hopes of heading to the playoffs, but the Texans stood in their way. At the end of the game it was Texans 19 - Hurricanes 7 and the Texans are playoff bound.

The most impressive part of the game was after the 'Canes had narrowed the score to Texans 12 - 'Canes 7. Then came, "The Drive." It started on the Texans own 37 yard line. A Seven play drive that consisted of Lupe Gonzales up the middle with tough bruising runs and capped of by a 15 yard run by Nathan Redd that was filled with stiff-arms and broken tackles.

The defense just about hung another zero on their opponent, but on a broken play the Hurricanes scampered for a touchdown and extra point.

The Texans are now 7 wins and 1 loss in conference and 7 and 2 overall. Next week, it is the Deer Park Tigers. Let's Go Texans!

On this weeks video, I featured some Christian Rappers. Hope you enjoy!

LaPorte Texans -vs- Dickinson Gators

What an incredible game! The Texans beat the Gators 24 - 0. The Texans open up an ariel barrage of passes. As best as I could count the passes, the Texans went 7 for 11 for about 125 yards!

After watching the video, a friend of mine said, "Oh my gosh that was a fantastic game those kids played. Ive never seen a freshman team pass that many times and run playaction the way they did. These kids can't be freshman, there more like High school players. Its amazing what those kids can learn from some good coaching. I really enjoyed that film and let Nathan know that we are pulling for him. I tell you what they (Houston Texans) could of used them Sunday during the Dallas Blowout."

The Texans have 5 Conferance Wins agains 1 Loss. With an overall record of 6 and 2. Next week the Galveston Hurricanes at their place!

LaPorte Texans -vs- Friendswood Colts

It was a beautiful day at Friendswood Stadium. The Texans were as physical as they have ever been. Solid hits, strong tackles and bruising blocks was the theme of the day. One coach who was scouting said, "I have never seen a Freshman Team hit like that ... amazing."

At the end of the game, the score was Texans 24 - Colts 0. This was the 2nd straight shut out the Texans Defense has put on opposing teams.

LaPorte Texans -vs- Clear Lake Space Raiders

This game was played against the Clear Lake Space Raiders. The game went into double overtime with the Space Raiders defeating the Texans 25 to 24. Something tells me these two teams will meet again in the playoffs. I think the Texans want to play the Space Raiders far more that the Space Raiders want to see the Texans.

Here is the video from the game.

The first game the Texans played was against their cross-town rivals the LaPorte Cowboys. Many of the boys knew each other from school - so it would be a hard fought game.
