They are loaded at the skill positions.
If they develop some linemen, they will be dangerous.

They host Boling in a scrimmage on Aug, 21

They could slip in third place

Royal could finish third too with David Walthal back

I was talking to a real nice mexican man of about 70 a few days ago that grew up around Sweeny, but he refered to it as Sweeny Switch. That was the first time I had heard that. But I dont know alot about that area, but was just wondering if a lot of older folks from around there also call it Sweeny Switch?

I'm assuming this came from a railroad switching station back in the day, but I dont know that.

Some of the old timers still call it Sweeny Switch. Seems back in the day before the town was much, it was a switching station for the railroad. The story goes that the switch operator was named Sweeny, so it became Sweeny Switch. Don't know the truth to all this but it's a story that I've heard over the years. And yes I live in Sweeny. Born and raised and am now a "traitor" cause I work in the Dub!

Sweeny, TX is near Houston, Swinney Switch, TX...where my grandfather lives is just north of Mathis, TX in between Corpus Christi and San Antonio on 37 overlooking the lake. Two totally different places.
