Michael Brewer might get his chance to step on Kyle Field again some
day. If his weekend is anything like the one he just experienced, it'll
be a memorable one.
Brewer, a Texas Tech quarterback commit for 2011, led Lake Travis of
Austin, Texas to a state title in the 7-on-7 championships in College
Station. He threw four touchdowns to teammate Conner Floyd, who is also
being recruited by Texas Tech among others, and beat Desoto (Tex.) 42-39
in the championship game to take home the trophy from the other 31
teams in the championship bracket.
"That was pretty cool, coming out on the first play here in
Kyle Field and throwing a touchdown," Brewer told the Bryan/College Station-Eagle.
Both his father and grandfather played for Texas. Floyd took
home tournament MVP honors.
"Every game was really tough," Brewer said. "The heat is beating
down on everyone and it's really all mental from there. Once we got
used to the heat, we kept going and picked it up a little bit."
Jace Amaro, a tight end and another Texas Tech commit, earned
All-Tournament team honors along with Brewer and Floyd.
