DAY BY DAY: No moment too big for A&M Consolidated's Bjork
The Tigers finished 10-3 overall and second behind College Station High in district play. They have gotten hot in the postseason, however, knocking off Wagner, Fulshear and Cedar Park.
“Ever since Coach (Brandon) Schmidt has taken over, he talks about the goal,” he said. “Not making the playoffs but advancing to state. He reminds us to take it day-by-day and this senior class has done that. That has been the key to our success. It’s the now… not the future.”

The Tigers have been blessed with hosting two of their three playoffs games this postseason, which has made this run even more sweet.
“Going into Cedar Park, we knew this would be our last home game as a senior,” he said. “That made it more special and for us to put a little more ‘umph’ into it. Our home crowd is amazing… one of the best in the state and they really make a difference in the game.”
The Tigers travel to Austin to face Smithson Valley this Friday, one game away from the State Final Four. What’s the plan?
“We are just going to do what we do,” he said. “That’s what has gotten us here, so we are sticking with it.”
