Yes, it was 21-0 at the half. Wharton offense didn't show up for the second half but the last four or five minutes of the game was a barn burner. BR had a PAT blocked and then the defense held. BR kicked an onside kick and recovered. Wharton lost a fumble to BR. It almost gave me a heart attack but the Tigers pulled this one out. I understand that Needville beat WC 14-6 and we've got Needville next week. It ought to be an interesting game between Needville and Wharton, to say the least.

I was really surprised that there were virtually NO BR fans in the visitors stands and they're only about 40 or 45 minutes away!

Congratulations Tigers on your win. Let's keep it going.

Is Wayne Woodard still a coach at BR? I know he used to be there a few years back. Just curious.

No he was fired by Martinez 2 years ago before the start of the season. Wayne was a great man! I think he is teaching in Katy now!

I always liked Coach Woodard. He was a real good guy and would do anything to help you out. A heck of a baseball coach too. He completely turned our program around. His son is an assistant now in West.

TIGERS WIN!!!
Wharton opens district slate with 21-20 victory over Royal

By MIKE KONVICKA mkonvicka@journal-spectator.com

Wharton's football team celebrated it's homecoming with a thrilling 21-20 win over Royal in the District 26-3A opener at Tiger Stadium.

Wharton needed a defensive stand in the final minute to preserve the win. Daniel Garcia had missed a 40-yard field goal with 2:42 remaining following Royal's third touchdown with 4:47 remaining that would have given Royal a 23-21 lead.

After Garcia's missed field goal, Wharton got the ball back but failed to pick up a first down giving Royal it's final chance. The Falcons drove inside the Wharton 40 where four passes fell incomplete.

The Tigers took over on downs and ran out the final 46 seconds of the clock.

'It was great. I just wish it wasn't as close as it was," said Wharton coach Stacey Hunt. "Hopefully, there are a lot more to come."

Wharton built a 21-0 halftime lead and took that into the fourth quarter before Royal rallied back.

"When your up 21-0 you have to close out ball games," Hunt said.

The game was a defensive battle for the most part with the teams combining for 13 punts.

"They came through when they had to, and I'm really proud of them," Hunt said.

The quarter then ended after Raymond Felder picked up a first down to the 35.

But the Tigers fumbled the ball away on the first play of the fourth quarter, and Royal took over at the Tiger 41.
