Ricky Gutierrez takes down a Panther running back with a flying tackle.
It turns out, as in nature, Panthers are just plain BIGGER than Bobcats. If Saturday's regional playoff game had been decided by size of character or size of heart, there might have been a different outcome. Unfortunately football is as much a game of brawn as it is brains, and at some point, sheer desire to win gives way to physical reality. That reality reared its ugly head Saturday afternoon in Seguin as the Skidmore-Tynan Bobcats fell 28-9 to their much larger Blanco opponents. To their credit, our boys put up a valiant fight and gave Bobcat fans an exciting game to remember. Hope was kept alive well into the 4th quarter of play as the Bobcats trailed just 14-9 with 9 minutes left on the board. Two additional Panther TDs put the game firmly out of reach in the final minutes of the game. The Signal congratulates the Bobcats on a great season and an exciting finish.
