Because of this game and Mineral Wells dropping out of the Quad-County League, for the first time since 1979 (as far as I can tell), the Brownwood and Stephenville Jr Highs will meet up for football. The 8th grade A, B and C teams will play in Brownwood and the 7th grade A, B and C teams will play in Stephenville this Tuesday.

The Brownwood and Stephenville Jr Highs played when I was in Junior High in 96 and 97.

5A Canyon lost in overtime

Beat Graham 34-30

Liberty Hill lost in overtime after Liberty hill kicked consecutive onside kicks to tie the game in the final 5 minutes of the game

Was down to Alvorado 7-6 in a rain delay when game was cancelled in the 2nd qtr.

The shining points so far this season is the boys don't quit. With the new coach they are still learning schemes as we have a new defense and offense that was implemented in 2 a days. Every week gets a little better.

If so it was a very long time ago.

It will be a fun environment at UMHB, and two teams that always have higher expectations. I think it is games like this that better prepare the kids for the playoff atmosphere.

Wouldn't mind seeing this one. Should be a fun game. Hopefully the weather cooperates this weekend.

I've got a feeling it will be another tough pre-district game for the buffaloes.

Congrats to Brownwood. They played a solid game with disciplined players making fewer mistakes. OTOH, Giddings made too many mistakes. Especially at the end of the game.

The stadium there at UMHB in Belton is one of the nicest stadiums I've ever been in. Clean clean clean, and on the homeside, all the seats are the fold down plastic stadium type like at a nice baseball park.

Crowd turnout was a lot lower than I expected. Not sure but it looked like Giddings had more there than BW. The visitors side is really small compared to the home side.

Brownwood's band was really good too.

I'm not sure how we will react if we are ever ahead by a couple of scores at the end of a game. :)

One big problem to me is yet another game with double digit penalty's and keeping our defense on the field.

I think in the first half Giddings ran over 40 offensive plays to our 12 or 15!

Yes. I was there when it was being built and you could definitely tell they were building it for them (D3 road teams don't travel well). It still hosts plenty of playoff games, but could probably get higher profile games if that side was bigger.

IMO, would have been perfect spot for Cameron and Rockdale in 2014. However, there is no way that would have worked.
