In 13 years of covering various events in West Texas, I've gotten used to traveling long distances, which is why the journey I've taken this weekend doesn't seem like such a big deal, even if it's among the longer trips I've taken.
Less than 24 hours after I witnessed Amarillo High beat Midland High 23-20 in a tremendous District 2-5A game in my adopted hometown of Midland, I'm at Abilene's Shotwell Stadium watching West Texas A&M give No. 1 Abilene Christian all it can handle. There's a lot more defense than when the two teams played last season, as ACU leads 14-12 at halftime.
When I drew the assignment to drive the Amarillo-Midland-Abilene triangle, I'll admit at first it wasn't a trip I was all that eagerly embracing, if due mainly to the length. But with two games this outstanding in less than 24 hours, nobody has a right to complain.
