The Brahmas couldn't rally from a 15-point halftime deficit, and fall to the Roughnecks in their first Lone Star Showdown.
Houston quarterback Brandon Silvers completed 24-of-35 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns, as the Roughnecks built a commanding 15-point halftime lead and held on to defeat San Antonio in their first Lone Star Showdown 22-13. The Brahmas fall to 1-2 on the season. Houston improves to 3-0.
The Brahmas started the game with an opening-drive touchdown. On the fifth play from scrimmage, quarterback Jack Coan hit wide receiver TJ Vasher for a nine-yard score and a quick 7-0 lead. The Roughnecks answered right back on the ensuing possession, capping an eight-play, 45-yard drive with Silvers’ seven-yard strike to Jontre Kirklin. A successful two-point conversion meant Houston led 8-7 at the end of the first quarter.
Houston then poured it on in the second quarter. Silvers threw two touchdowns on two straight offensive possessions -- a three-yard TD pass to Kirklin and an 18-yarder to Deontay Burnett -- while the Roughnecks defense held San Antonio to negative yardage on nine plays, as Houston entered halftime with a 22-7 lead.
Defensive back Kameron Kelly gave the Brahmas life midway through the third quarter by jumping a route and intercepting Silvers at the Houston 45-yard line. The Brahmas promptly cut the deficit to nine points on Jacques Patrick’s elusive one-yard touchdown-run, 22-13.

A historical San Antonio home designed by Lone Star Brewery's architect is now for saleCharles Haarmann paid just $1,000 for a half-acre lot in what's now the King William Historic District. In 1893, he tapped architect Albert Beckmann to design the five-bedroom house now on the market for $2.3 million. Beckmann, who designed commercial and public buildings along with homes for San Antonio’s elite, was a key member of the design team for the original Lone Star Brewing building, which now houses the San Antonio Museum of Art. More residents of Haarmann's one-time home include longtime San Antonio newspaper columnist Rick Casey and the late Christopher Price, a two-time president of the King William Association. From the numerous covered porches on two floors and ornate stonework touches to the extravagant interior woodwork in every room and the grand staircase, the estate feels like a step back in time. An array of stainless steel appliances in the kitchen offers a rare reminder of the current century. The 4,000-square-foot property also features a pool, outdoor kitchen, a dog run and raised garden beds made of limestone. A large workshop and a 900-square-foot apartment are also included in the sale price. This home is listed by Debra Maltz with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
