San Saba Armadillos Named Army Strong Team of the Week
Thursday, November 5, 2009 • Posted November 5, 2009

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football is proud to announce that the San Saba High School Armadillos football team has been named the Army Strong Team of the Week for Division 2A.

The San Saba Armadillos were chosen for this honor because of their teamwork, dedication, discipline, personal courage and integrity, values shared by U.S. Army Soldiers.

“San Saba clinched a playoff berth and locked up its first seven-win season since 1994 with a 17-14 victory over Comanche on Friday night,” said Adam Hochfelder, general manager of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. “The Armadillos are now an impressive 7-2 on the season and 4-1 in district play, compared to last year’s record of 2-8 overall and 1-5 in District 8-2A.”

The award will be presented to the team at a time to be determined later this week by a representative of the U.S. Army.

“The U.S. Army is recognizing the student-athletes at San Saba High School for demonstrating qualities similar to those exhibited by its Soldiers. Student-athletes and Soldiers share similar values, but more importantly they must be mentally, emotionally and physically strong,” said Captain Gary Ward. “We expect to see some of these young men competing at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, the college level, or maybe even professionally in the future.”
