Westlake High School Gets Puked On

On December 23rd, perennial uber-rich athletic badasses at Westlake High School got kicked hard in their khaki Dockers when they played Dallas powerhouse Southlake Caroll at the Class 5A Division I State Football Championship. Westlake lost, 43-29.

At The Alamodome in San Antonio, the game was tied 29-29 midway through the fourth quarter. Westlake was looking for its second state title and a perfect ending to a challenging season. But the odds were in Carroll's favor. They were 16-0 on the season, they were going for their 48th straight win, their third straight state title and their seventh for the school. Plus, it was the head coach--the quarterback's father--final game.

With 7:43 left in the game and the play clock running down to three seconds, Carroll quarterback Riley Dodge released a hail mary of puke only John Madden after one too many chili cheese dogs could match. He then hikes the ball, throws a 25-yard touchdown pass and starts the rally that would eventually lead to another Southlake Carroll state championship.

We Texans and our potentially-probably unhealthy, unyielding obsession with high school football... mind boggling. In PD's defense: some people LOVE khakis, so why get all up in arms over that? And if you DON'T appreciate a fine pair of pleat-less deck-pants, then please note that he did use the khaki comment in conjunction with "athletic badasses". Smacks of "balance" to me. Even outside of that, it's opinion, not an official indictment of any kind.

Looks like everyone played some fine football that day, and lots of home runs were aced down the lanes. Bump, Set, Strike! ALRIGHT!!!

I enjoy the austinist, and this is just crap writing to the masses to demean Westlake. Patrick you should write something of substance instead of ignorant envy. The Championship game was great...and the young men who played in it should be applauded. In now way was Westlake blown out or got their butts kicked. They played a great game but were not the best team that day.

Westlake really surprised the state with their performance during the State Championship game. They were written off by many to be blown out in this game and had a great showing. Many considered the game over before it was even played. Westlake played a hard fought game and young men should be congratulated for their achievements rather than running down a community because of jealousy. While some are more fortunate in the community with income, this does not buy them opportunity to be in the State Championship game. Hard work, discipline, and a bunch of good kids. The dockers comment is just childish envy and I can see that the A.I.S.D school system has taught you well :(

I hope that you use your time at University of Texas to become educated. I do feel deeply troubled that your major is education and you may have the chance to educate with your poor opinions.

Did anyone actually watch the game...every Southlake Carroll RF had bleached-blonde hair.

and their students probably have more pairs of khaki dockers than westlake's students.

This is why the Austinist doesn't talk about sports much...

...corrected.

Joe is the brother of John (the football commentator) and Steve (the shoe magnate). During the Thanksgiving of 1998, he was caught sexing up the Turducken while sniffing a pair of Steve's girlfriend's shoes.

Joe was subsequently thrown from the Outback Steakhouse Cruiser -the tour bus that John travels/lives in- while it was moving! The brothers have barely spoken since. He was working at an Ace Hardware in Oceola, Mississippi, a sinecure due to John's tenure as a spokesman for the hardware chain, and fired when it was discovered that he was huffing gold spray paint on his breaks.

Now he roams the south and, when high on gasoline, he sneaks ipecac into the water supply of whatever high school football team is closest. This, he believes, while in his petroleum induced haze, is proper vengeance for his brothers' treatment of him. Joe Madden is a misguided soul and is commonly referred to as "the shame of the Madden family."

Who is Joe Madden? Is this some combination of Joe Theismann and John Madden? Formed together to make a crappy announcer? Plus anyone who uses Methinks is a doofus, but than again with sports commentary as bad as this, its appropriate.
