Lampasas did have a 10-6 lead in the opening game, but Llano responded with an 11-3 run.
GERONIMO—It was akin to a championship boxing match—not one on one, but 11 on 11, nose to nose on the front lines. Body blows by bodies in armor instead of competitors trading Everlastwrapped fists. The challenger’s repeated defensive stances made this admirable contest of mind, spirit, strength, and conviction close on all cards for more than three-quarters of the struggle.
The champion, like in the movies, wanted no rematch with the underdog.
On this gridiron near Seguin, unbeaten ...
