MY OLD SCHOOL BEATS MY OLD SCHOOL
Baytown Sterling 28, Kingwood 25

This is only significant because I attended Kingwood as a student back in the 1980's and taught at Sterling in the late 90's and early...what the hell do we call this decade? Anyway, the Sterling Rangers sucked bigtime the entire time I was there which was a drag because I desperately lusted for a win against my old school. It only figures that, now I'm gone, Sterling finally pulls off the upset.

From the Houston Chronicle:

Jeremy Williams compiled 305 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns to pace the Baytown Sterling Rangers to a slim victory over the Kingwood Mustangs at Stallworth Stadium.

Williams hauled in a 56-yard strike from Mike Marcontell to give the Rangers a 14-7 lead in the second period.

Williams later stretched a narrow 21-18 lead to 10 points when he returned a kickoff 95 yards as a retort to a Kingwood score.

Kingwood mounted a rally late in the game but fell short despite a one-yard TD by quarterback Johnny Whittleman that capped a seven-play, 69-yard drive.

Actually, that's the entire article. I mean, there are hundreds of high schools in the Houston area, and only a relatively few people really care about this game, anyway. So, um...click here for the article in it's original format, complete with a link to the box score.

Here's a link to the Baytown Sun's pre-game article. It kind of gives you an idea of how sucky the Rangers have been:

The Sterling Rangers still have a lot riding on the 2004 season. They can avoid having a losing record for the first time in years if they beat the Kingwood Mustangs tonight.

The Rangers enter their last game with a 4-5 season record and are 1-5 in District 22-5A. Kingwood is 3-6 overall and 2-4 in district.

Of course, it sounds like the Mustangs haven't been doing that well lately either. You know, it's totally weird that I have any interest in this at all. I really have awful memories of my time at Sterling. What kind of a sicko am I?

Go Rangers.
