VYPE: How long have you been playing football? What got you started in the sport?
Emmers: I've been playing football since kindergarten. My dad got me started.
VYPE: Do you have a go-to game day routine?
Emmers: I listen to music (NBA Youngboy).
VYPE: What are your goals for the season-- both individually and for the team?
Emmers: My goals for the season are to help my team go to state and to be First Team All-District/Region/State.
VYPE: Is there a professional athlete you look up to?
Emmers: Stefon Diggs.
VYPE: What are you looking for in a college program?
Emmers: My recruitment is open. I'm looking for a good community and a solid program. A place that will help me develop.
VYPE: When the hook and ladder was called, did you know that you could get the job done for the team?
Emmers: Yeah, I felt like I had a big chance when I saw all the space after I caught the ball. It felt really good!
Emmers: That last play wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the good snap, the line blocking, Evan (Bullock) throwing a perfect pass, Cam (Augurson)'s catch and flip, and the down-field blocking by Breezy (Dubar) and (Sean) Steens.
Emmers and the Coyotes will be back in action on Friday, September 9th as the team hosts Van Alstyne. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.
Anna Football: It's not over 'til it's over
As week two of Texas High School Football wraps up, there are plenty of great games and plays that happened across the state making waves on social media. One of those plays is coming from none other than Anna Coyotes big victory over Aubrey as time expired. The Anna Coyotes showed their fans-- as well as the rest of the state-- exactly why a game isn't ever over... until it's over!
It's Not Over Until the Final Whistle
Down by one point with not much time on the clock-- or hope left in the Coyotes' fans hearts-- Anna did the unthinkable... a hook and lateral was called and executed perfectly. Junior wide receiver Jacob Emmers got his hands on the ball and ran 85-yards for a touchdown as time expired. The touchdown marks Emmers' fifth touchdown of the season.
