Editorial Note: This is my son's final year playing high school ball and, as we get closer to the end, I want to watch the games without trying to take notes at the same time. It's a special season and my son's last Cowboy year so I'd like to just enjoy it. Going forward, I won't be giving minute by minute reports. Hopefully, someone else will take the opportunity. If not, I'll try to get at least some stats the Enquirer won't already report.
