KATY – From the moment he began playing football as a child, Wimberley Texan junior Dalton Blackburn always dreamt of nights like Friday at Legacy Stadium.
By securing a critical fumble late in the fourth frame, Blackburn made the play that quashed a furious second half Silsbee Tiger rally and helped the Texans escape with a wild 56-43 shootout win in the 4A, Division II state semifinal. The victory catapults Wimberley (13-2) into the 4A, DII state championship game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the program’s third trip in the last 15 years.
It was all a special moment for Blackburn and his teammates to soak in.
