FOR RELEASE NOVEMBER 24, 2007
TEXAS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF RANGERS CONTINUE IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
PLAYOFFS
Austin, Texas – November 24, 2007, Thanksgiving break has been
interrupted for the Texas School for the Deaf’s (TSD) football team
this weekend as they returned to campus early for practice yesterday.
But not one TSD player or coach seems to mind. In fact, the TSD
Rangers will not mind a few more practices after the win they are
going for in tonight’s game against the Regents School of Austin in
the TAPPS Diviision III playoff. Kickoff today is at 7:00 p.m. at
TSD’s Gamblin Field, 1107 South Congress Avenue in South Austin.
Former Longhorns, James Patton and Cosmo Palmieri, surprised the TSD
Rangers as they suited up for practice Friday afternoon. Palmieri
played wide-receiver for the University of Texas (UT) from 1989 to
1993, and Patton was defensive tackle (1988-1991) at UT before
playing for the Buffalo Bills in two Super Bowls from 1992 to 1996.
Patton and Palmieri shared some words of encouragement with the
Rangers by recalling some of their football memories. Patton
remembered that in games he always, “wanted to match-up against a guy
who thought he was better than me. Because I knew he wasnýt going to
be trying as hard as I was.,” Patton emphasized that it’s not
necessarily always about talent, “it’s more about what’s in each
players heart.”
TSD (10-2) says they are ready, this time. Rangers’ Head Coach Matt
Thompson, hopes to have a few surprises for this familiar opponent in
tonight’s game. When the teams met in the regular season last month,
Regents’ Knights (9-2) prevailed over TSD 46-20. Thompson plans to
tell his team to be patient, eliminate mistakes, and we’ll use our
weapons at the right time.
WHAT: Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) Rangers vs. Regents School of
Austin’s Knights
WHEN: Saturday, November 24, 2007, 7:00 p.m.
WHERE: Rudolph Gamblin Field at TSD
1102 South Congress Avenue, Austin Texas 78704
With TSD’s educational excellence and a strong belief in culture and
community, students form a unique identity based on their individual
strengths and talents, rather than their disabilities. TSD is an
environment where students learn, grow, and belong. For more
