If last week’s game against the Marshall Rams wasn’t a confidence booster, then what was it? An eye-opener? A wake-up call, maybe? It was definitely a victory, because the T-Birds demolished the rams 72-35, stripping them of their pride and steam rolling star running back Jemaree Yelton into the best night of his high school career so far. Yelton now has 10 carries, 309 yards, 5 touchdowns -- and if that wasn't enough, he was nominated for the Mr. Texas Football Player of the Week award.
That's amazing on its own, but that wasn't all. The entire T-Bird team offense was recognized this week by KENS 5 Sports, a recognition that was capped with a KENS 5 morning pep rally today. To top it off, coach Charles Bruce was selected to coach the local eastern All-Star Game, to be held in the Alamodome January 9.
It's safe to say that Wagner is on the map. The T-Birds face off against the New Braunfels Unicorns tonight.
