COVER1 will be making the trip to AT&T Stadium on Wednesday afternoon through Thursday night to give our viewers one last huzzah of football content.

Even though the Concho Valley does not have any representation at AT&T Stadium, COVER1 still has a fantastic line-up of 3 games for you to enjoy. So tune into the COVER1 show on SanAngeloLive.com for coverage, highlights, and analysis!

The first game COVER1 is treating our fans to is the Shiner vs. Hawley game.

 Shiner, being led by the NCAA Division 1 players in Dalton and Doug Brooks as they take on the Hawley Bearcats who have been as battle-tested in the playoffs as any team taking down the 8-4 Sundown Roughnecks, the 11-1 Coleman Bluecats, the 11-3 Cisco Loboes, and the 11-4 Marlin Bulldogs.

Game number 2 is the 2A-D2 match up of the Stratford Elks and the Falls City Beavers.

The Beavers took down the highly ranked Mart Panthers who have 8 state championships with half of those coming in the last 11 years and have made it to the final stage 13 total times according to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football website.

For Falls City to stand up and beat a team as consistent makes the Beavers dangerous.

The 3rd and final game the COVER1 Crew will cover is the absolute powerhouse Brock Eagles taking on the Lorena Leopards.

Brock has added varsity football to the program within the last 10 years and have been an absolute powerhouse since. Even though they’ve only won a state title once.

According to 1st year Brock head coach Billy Mathis, the players have taken it personally this season. So much so that they enter the state game undefeated with eyes on some shiny new hardware.

Will Brock finish the fight?

Can the Brooks Brothers and the Comanches get it done on the biggest stage in Texas?

Can Beavers take down the Elks after crushing the hopes and dreams of the Mart Panthers?

To find out the answers to these questions, tune into COVER1 on SanAngeloLive.com Wednesday afternoon and again on Thursday.
