LEE 28 - KELLER 26

My first Texas high school football game was one of the most bizarre football games that I have ever been a part of.  We were supposed to kickoff at 4:30pm but ended up being delayed due to lightning for two and a half hours.  The worst part was that every so often we would get ready, gear up, stretch a bit, and then we'd be delayed again - very frustrating.  After all that, the Keller coaches went ahead and took their team out on the field without us knowing at about 6:20pm so we ended up having to rush out to the field, and go through an abbreviated pregame.  It felt like we got on the field and the next thing we knew the game started.  Very strange.

The game itself was even more unusual.  Despite the fact that Keller managed to have a kick return for TD, a defensive TD, and force three turnovers, they still managed to lose the game.  They were a very physically imposing and impressive group, but our undersized kids out-toughed them all night long.  For Lee, getting a win over a Dallas metroplex school is a huge deal.  Lets hope this helps the team build some momentum going forward.  Here's a link to the article in the Midland paper and a couple of pics of the Keller bell cow - Maea Teuhema - 6'5" 340, OT, he has signed with LSU where he will join his brother who is an outside linebacker for the Tigers.  Like I said, the Keller Indians certainly passed the eyeball test!
