Zadock Dinkelmann sits beside his father’s bed. His dad gives Zadock a thumbs up after a great Texas state football playoff win and he knows his father just knows.
The BYU quarterback commit from Somerset High School in San Antonio was fresh off a solid game, a winning performance in the opening round of the Texas 4A state playoffs this past week. On Friday, Dinkelmann’s 9-2 Eagles will face 8-3 China Springs at Bob Shelton Stadium for a second-round matchup.
This is the first season in Dinkelmann’s young life his father hasn’t been on the field watching him play.
