Lake Travis wins 4A State Championship in Football

I would like to tell you all that I went to the Division 1 4A State Championship at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Tx yesterday.  It was a great game that started out a little slower that I guess I would have expected, but ended up being one of the greatest football games I have ever seen.  It may not have been all football that caught my eye though.  The Longview band gave me a few laughs during halftime.  Lake Travis players came out after halftime with about 7 minutes left in the halftime show.  This was at the same time the Longview band was on the field performing their halftime show.  Well some of the Lake Travis players decided that it would be funny to start walking onto the field while the rest of the team waited patiently in the endzone.  The whole crowd erupted with boo’s and cursing and with one whistle (by the Drum Major) the entire band did a 180 and started heading towards the Lake Travis players.  They pushed the team off the field twice which caused the crowd to go nuts.  I have to admit this is probably the greatest high school football game that I have ever been to in my entire life.  The atmosphere was electrifying.  I was sitting on the Longview side (worried about being seen by my arch rivals).  The whole reason I went to game in the first place, however, was to was Garrett Gilbert play only because I wont be able to see him play until his red-shirted freshman year (year after next).  He was everything I expected plus more.  He ended up helping the team crush Longview 48-23.  Fans were leaving at the beginning of the 4th quarter.
