In all honesty, our soph Qb worries me. If we had Graylon back right now I'd say we would win. Without him, I'm a bit troubled.

There is a big difference. Experience. Wylie has an experience factor over Brownwood. They also have longevity with their coach and his system. This was Brownwood's 2nd (varsity) game of the season for alot of the players on the field and also executing Shipley's gameplan for the 2nd Time. Defensively? Brownwood dominated La Vega.

You are right about a normal WR not being a factor if the QB has no time to throw. Shipley is a TRUE D1 WR. You ever heard of a screen pass? LOL How about the shotgun? Go ahead and rush that Wylie DLine up in there, they will pay dearly. I really don't think Sandifer and Company share your thoughts on Shipley not being a factor. LOL

So Wylies experience should still be a factor in this game, I mean this is only gonna be Brownwoods 6th game under their new staff and when you factor in the injuries they have incurred throughout the season they're must still be kinks to be worked out, so that +1 for Wylie.

Defensively their is no doubt that Brownwood dominated LV, but nowhere near the domination that Wylie had against LV, so thats another +1 for Wylie,

As far as Shipley goes, yeah I'll admit I got carried away in saying he will be a non factor, but one man can not carry a team, Ship will get his, your right he is a DI WR no doubt but I just dont see it being enough...i may be wrong, I have a history of being wrong every now and then I just wanted to give my perspective actually using a common denominator in Waco LV. It'll be a good game no doubt but I just think AW has too much.

When you have a big threat WR that can go to the house ANYTIME he touches the ball in a matter of seconds, I would say that is a BIG factor. Roy Williams when he played for Permian usually had a stat line like 3 catches for 175 yards and 2 TD's. Oh and Shipley is playing 3A Cornerbacks.

You are right about the experience factor. I said that. And comparing what one team does to this team and that team to another is really pointless on saying who will do what 3-4 weeks later.

They will play the game and we shall see.

Looking around while National Anthem being played--- They were probably looking at the flyover from Dyess AFB. We try to make a huge production prior to kickoff, oops didn't mean to step on any toes. By the way, do you still have your little cartoon carnival show on your little mini-tron where you try to intimidate the visiting team by showing your (LOL) previous game highlights. Funny stuff!!!!

Hey awylie8, are you in junior high or what? My post was a joke. Grow up man (I mean kid).

Wylie 28 Brownwood 24

Brownwood 35 Wylie 20 :thumbsup:

Keys:
Offense- Lion's OL must give QB time to execute. Running game will be a factor to keep Wylie's D guessing.
Defense- Lion's D will be the best Wylie has faced so far. Lots of big plays for the Lions on this side of the ball.

This may be true when running some of our offense, but the system will allow for passes to keep that DLine off balance and to expose them. Go ahead and send the house, Wylie will pay dearly.

After that happens a couple of times, the Wylie DLine will be more conservative giving our QB the time he needs.

Execution destroys all that preparation. Unless he has video from every game, he won't be prepared. I have seen Brownwood run 2 different offenses the 2 different games I saw them play and both without Shipley, which will add a totally new dynamic. He can do his best to guess, but Shipley is as good a chessmaster or better than Ol' Hughey.

Who gave Southlake Carroll their first district loss in 100 years? Shipley... last season.

True that Sandifer has been preparing and trying to get an idea in the last 2 weeks. He may have something for this game we haven't seen yet. But do you really think that Shipley has exposed all... nope. It will be interesting to see how Wylie reacts to the unknown.

[OldBison75]

Rocket must be about 8 feet tall and have really bushy hair with all the fertilizer he spreads from his posts.

I love the fact he supports his team so strongly, but the only meaningful thing he has said this year is the Brownwood defense is much improved.

Brownwood was one of my picks for the surprise team of this year and they are making me look good so far. If they can beat AW this week, they will make me look really smart. HOWEVER, nobody has ever accused me of being really smart, so that works against Brownwood.

My take on the game is that it will be a war with both teams scoring alot of points. The Brownwood offense will score at least 28, but the Wylie Offense will score a few more and the Wylie defense will make the one big stop in the fourth quarter that turns the game in thier favor. NO OFFENSE ROCKET--BUT I HAVE TO GO WITH THE WYLIE MACHINE THAT HAS RUN THE SAME WAY FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND SELDOM FALTERS. MAYBE bROWNWOOD WILL GET THE MACHINE BACK ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE AND BE A FACTOR IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

If you look real close, there are some bright spots among my posts. But yeah, you are right, they are full of crap. LOL

No offense taken. Why would you be any different? Only the true Brownwood fans that follow the team know what's going on in Brownwood. This game will show us where we are or where we need to be, but I would say if this game was being played the final week, our chances would be that much greater. Is Wylie beatable? YES and Brownwood is very capable. We saw how many big plays they gave up against Canyon and you know Shipley did too. ;)

Brownwood is playing as the underdog and I like that. Wylie is due a BIG letdown. Either way, after this game, we both take care of business in District and get better and represent District 2-3A in the Quest for State.

[OldBison75]

Well, on one hand I would like for Brownwood to make me look smart, since that is not my strong personality trait. On the other, I am somewhat of a believer that programs such as Wylie are very hard to beat and even harder to outsmart. If you beat them it will be your athletes lining up and whipping them. not by tricks and smoke and mirrors. I think that Brownwood has the type athletes to play with any team in 3A--the key is can they match the four quarter consistency that Wylie normally puts on the field?

Friday night will probably put great clarity to the Regional playoffs and establish the odds on favorite for the regional championship.

Both men are excellent coaches, I think any longtime follower of Texas HS football knows that. Rocket, I think you pen your hopes on a lot of your posts, hoping that some of these things you say about the opposition are true and that's fine with me, because I think you really do love highschool football that much.

I am sure that Coach Shipley will have Brownwood prepared for this game---he has proven himself to be that kind of coach.

I have seen some Coach Sandifer coached Wylie teams in several playoff games in past years, and I can only assure you that he will not be surprised or unable to adjust to anything he might encounter from a coaching standpoint. I have always been tremendously impressed with his ability to get his players to execute with a high degree of success under pressure and the discipline that he has instilled in his players to achieve this. IMO, he is one of those really good coaches whose teams that you literally have to "beat" to win---he doesn't beat himself much.

Brownwood is a STRONG 2nd half team. They are built this way. If the score is close at halftime, I will have a big smile on my face.

He will be able to adjust, but those adjustments are going to allow us to adjust and hurt 'em other places. If Shipley was the only player we had that was worth a crap, it wouldn't matter. You could double or triple him all night and shut us down. But that is simply not the case.

I am sure they will be putting heavy pressure on our QB and doubling Shipley or even hiding coverages and that is all good and fine. But this will make for easy reads other places and many other ways to hurt Wylie. It is going to cost Wylie ALOT to stop Shipley. It will cost them 35 points minimum.

If you are running the spread the chances are slim you will see any double coverage. The chances are great that Wylie will zone blitz the hell out of you. I would expect them to play in nickel, if not dime packages most of the night unless Bwd is able to seriously hurt them with the QB run or zone read. If Wylie has a well disciplined secondary; then this game should be more about Brownwoods run game than the pass game. It will be Brownwoods ability to run that will open up the passing.:thinking:

Wow! It is great to see a Brownwood thread with actual football related posts.:clap: :clap:


I give Brownwood a chance to win this one. I think Wylie ultimately will, but it is football and 1 million things can happen. Brownwood will defiantly have to show the ability to run and not turn over the ball. Wylie will need to control field position and make their drives long and end in 7. Quick scores by Brownwood will do great harm.



:( Sorry P4S, I know it is only Tuesday but I figured I better get a football post in while I could .

Well , if we lose our QB, Shipley, and #2 WR, and RB, and LB (leading tackler), and FS, and then we pull most of our starters, then Wylie will probably beat us like Stephenville did. Also, if a ref makes a call like he did last season where he gives you the ball on the 20 after a "fumble" after the whistle blows, that can really turn a game as well. There are several excuses that are possible, we just have to see once the game is over.

[Rocket]

Another factor you guys aren't thinking about is home field advantage. Wylie is great at home. They beat their 2 toughest opponents at home. Gordon Wood Stadium can be a tough place to win for visiting teams and you can best believe Brownwood is going to be jacked up for this one.

NO problem here. Obviously you have it all figured out or maybe you don't. I see you changed your mind. I don't think either team will win by 35+. Both teams have proven they have good defenses. Both teams have good offenses. It will definitely be a battle on the field, but neither team will be 35+ points better than the other.

Well , if we lose our QB, Shipley, and #2 WR, and RB, and LB (leading tackler), and FS, and then we pull most of our starters, then Wylie will probably beat us like Stephenville did. Also, if a ref makes a call like he did last season where he gives you the ball on the 20 after a "fumble" after the whistle blows, that can really turn a game as well. There are several excuses that are possible, we just have to see once the game is over.

So, you are mulling over what excuses you are planning on using....:rolleyes::doh:

It's weird because I graduated in 08 from clyde and it seemed like everyone hated wylie but I have only missed two of there games so far this year and now I'm becoming a fan. Anyways my question is knowing that wylie is as good as usual, how does brownwood match up because I have not kept up with them this year, and I am planning on making the drive to Brownwood to attend the game Friday.

These people aren't using their brains at all. They think the score tells the whole story. Nothing else matters. Some have even said one player doesn't make a difference. LOL You can't argue with people that don't use their brains.

LOL Ok let me get this straight. Let's say you meet somebody at a water cooler and you are talking about a football game. One guy knows the team and the other guy doesn't. The one guy that doesn't know the team asks what the score was, the guy that knows the teams says we lost, 35-0. How many people do you know would say "Yeah we just got beat." if the case had been there were actually 6 players injured? No. The guy would have gone on to tell the story of what happened and what affected the outcome of the game. You people are too funny. Does it change the fact the team got beat? NO. The team that played did not have it's best players on the field. It happened and it counts as a loss, but it doesn't truly represent how good that team was.

Art Briles after losing to Brownwood in 1998, "We just ran out of time." That is the best excuse ever! LOL

Brownwood healthy vs. Stephenville healthy would have been a great game. Just wasn't in the cards this year.

[OldBison75]

Wait a minute, I have just learned something from Rocket, so i will now speak openly about my beliefs. Two years ago the Rattlers would have beaten LH in the Quarterfinals if LH would not have had so many good, strong, fast athletes on the field at the same time. It should have been more evenly matched and they should have had only 6 on the field at a time. I blame the coaches for not insisting that the game be played evenly, even if that meant that some players did not get to play.

Last year against LaVega in the Quarterfinals (probably one of the best games I have seen in a while), it was all the LaVega defense fault that Navasota did not win. They were playing out of our optimal position and fooled our receiver and quarterback into believing we had and open receiver. It was very unprofessional and unsportsmanlike to intercept a pass of the Rattlers. It was also very rude to score in the overtime period and win the game after we played so well. If we had not been so sportsman and dropped a sure interception earlier in regulation we would have won.

FACT IS: In both of these instances the game was decided on the field between the players that were available. We never made any excuse about any of this or about Chris Parr suddenly becoming eligible again. We played what was put before us in both cases and lost both times. But, we learned from those games and we expect to be back in that position again later this year. We plan on winning, but the masses in Navasota will be happy to se the effort and cheer our guys regardless of the outcome of the game. We may be disappointed-but we will still be proud.

You are missing the point. As usual. My point is this and I am going to make it real simple for you:

Do not judge Brownwood on the Stephenville Game. It was not an accurate representation of who this team is.

No you can judge us this week. This game matters. I hope Wylie doesn't lose 6 key players, but if they do, we will let them use the excuse. It won't really matter though. We win.:rolleyes:

Well, I was just pointing out that in the game of football, crap happen and you have to play with what you have. The only way to make it right is for the two teams to decided who has to not play to make the rosters even if one can't play with what they have. Brownwood could not matchup with S'ville because of key injuries, so maybe the rules should have required S'ville to remove the same first team position players from the field. That is a really crappy excuse for losing a game even if it had a huge effect. You, like every other team in football has key injuries and has to play through them--win or lose. I have never seen a team pull all thier starters and "give away" a game because they had too many injuries to compete evenly.

OK, if that is the way you want it I'll play along.

Brownwood has proven that they can put up points with anyone in 3A so far. Wylie has proven that they can play defense with the best of 3A. Brownwood plays with 11 guys on the field at a time. Wylie plays with 11 guys on the field at a time. Brownwood is playing better defense this year than last. Wylie is playing the same old efficient machine like offense they have for several years. Sounds like a helluva matchup.

Brownwood is playing at home, so that should give them at least 7 points advantage over a neutral site. Wylie is on the road and will give up about 7 points to the home team karma. That means that Brownwood starts 14 points ahead of Wylie. SSSSSSOOOOO the way I figure it, Wylie only wins by three on the scoreboard.

You all know how I hate to bring up the past. Think about this. Last season, Brownwood's defense was not that good. We gave up like 40 a game and that is just the numbers. We held Wylie's Machine like offense to 31 and made some key stops and forced some turnovers. Wylie's defense (and horrible ref call) kept them in the game, not their offense. With that said, this year's Brownwood defense should really give Wylie's offense some trouble.

If Brownwood can score more points than Wylie, they will win. LOL

[Rocket]

What's funny is I know Garcia wants Brownwood to win. He wants to see the fury us Brownwood posters are going to unleash on the board.

[OldBison75]

Rocket, you are about the most diplomatically challenged poster on this board. You just don't even make it fun to banter, using last year and referees and injuries as reason for failure. I really thought you would jump me about the home field advantage being 14 points in BW favor and then saying that with that the Wylie team would only win by 3--making Wylie 17 total points better than BW. I try and try to agitate and all i get is a diplomatic "whichever team scores the most points will win"!!

Wait a minute, I have just learned something from Rocket, so i will now speak openly about my beliefs. Two years ago the Rattlers would have beaten LH in the Quarterfinals if LH would not have had so many good, strong, fast athletes on the field at the same time. It should have been more evenly matched and they should have had only 6 on the field at a time. I blame the coaches for not insisting that the game be played evenly, even if that meant that some players did not get to play.

Last year against LaVega in the Quarterfinals (probably one of the best games I have seen in a while), it was all the LaVega defense fault that Navasota did not win. They were playing out of our optimal position and fooled our receiver and quarterback into believing we had and open receiver. It was very unprofessional and unsportsmanlike to intercept a pass of the Rattlers. It was also very rude to score in the overtime period and win the game after we played so well. If we had not been so sportsman and dropped a sure interception earlier in regulation we would have won.

FACT IS: In both of these instances the game was decided on the field between the players that were available. We never made any excuse about any of this or about Chris Parr suddenly becoming eligible again. We played what was put before us in both cases and lost both times. But, we learned from those games and we expect to be back in that position again later this year. We plan on winning, but the masses in Navasota will be happy to se the effort and cheer our guys regardless of the outcome of the game. We may be disappointed-but we will still be proud.

Yes! I want you to win the state title, but not the match vs Wylie! That will never happen. Brownwood is not condition enough to hang with Wylie. Brownwood gets hurt too easy; proven fact! The fury you will unleash on the board will only happen if you win state! If not, then the Rocket Theory will apply!

Hey Rocket! Just a friendly reminder:

Everyone plays as Abilene Wylie beats Waco La Vega
By: Mike Phillips • 9/19/2009 12:42:48 AM Share on Facebook

BELLMEAD, TX – T-shirts are sailing into the stands, smoke is coming from the tunnel and a horn (well, a lot more than just a horn) is blaring, blasting into the night loud enough and deep enough to take years off your life (or add them to it, depending if you're a Bulldog fan).

This is Wylie football, wild and wonderful, loud and robust – and this is an away game.

The Bulldogs are winning 39-0, and it's halftime. The team they are beating – Waco La Vega – played for the state title a year ago. Wylie spent 3 ½ hours on a bus just to get here, and this was supposed to be one of the top 3A games in the state.

It's a blowout – just listen to that horn.

The guys from Wylie unleash it with every Bulldog touchdown, and the TDs came early and often in this one. By the time the night ended it was 46-29, but don't let that score fool you. Wylie played backups the entire second half.

This team isn't just good, it's classy. Even when La Vega's Pirates looked like they might make it close, Wylie coach Hugh Sandifer kept his backups in the game.

“Well, we have a lot of depth,'' he said later. “And we want to play (the backups) in tight situations. We believe in all of them, every single one of them.''

And they believe in Sandifer.

He has built more than a football team and a classy program. There's a sense of belonging here – belonging to something bigger than one person or one team. And it starts when you are 5 years old.

There are no growing pains at Wylie, just growing.

If you want to see the face of this program, just take a look at Casom Grant – freckles and all. He's 10 years old and a fourth grader at Wylie Elementary. He's got a shock of red hair that could stop traffic and a smile as big as West Texas (after all, the Bulldogs are winning).

You've seen eye-black on football players. Casom wears “eye-purple” under his eyes for games, and he's wearing a bigger-than-life Wylie jersey with No. 44 plastered on it.

He's part of the “Adopt a Bulldog” program, the real secret at Wylie, where they take kids from kindergarten through sixth grade and let them have their own varsity football player. Casom's player is No. 44, linebacker Andy Linn, who had his own big Bulldog when he was younger. It's been working for years.

“It's awesome,'' said Casom, who took the field after the game and played catch with Linn. Casom and a bunch of other “little bulldogs,'' took their helmets from their players and took their pads, and walked around in their own slice of heaven.


“We get to get the pads,'' said a delighted Casom. “And the helmet. And we get to know the players.''

The best part?

“Oh, I think the best part is I get to talk to him about stuff I can't talk to other people about, like my friends,'' he said.

They're that close. That's the idea. The varsity players go to dinner with the kids, visit them at their homes, and hand down the whole football experience to a younger generation that will some day be on the same football field.

“We grew up wanting to be Bulldogs,'' said Wylie senior quarterback Matt Preston, who runs this offense like he has been doing it all his life.

“It's a great program,'' said running back Jon Miller. “We have a great system. We've all been brought up like this since we were in first grade, wanting to be a part of this team.''

Maybe that's why Wylie looks and feels and plays with such a different sense of the game. To call these kids unselfish is like saying Bill Gates is pretty good with computers. Preston and Miller, two of the biggest leaders on this team, had no problem sitting out the entire second half. They enjoyed seeing the backups.

“It was great to get everyone in the game,'' Preston said.

Everyone did get in the game, literally. Sandifer brought 60 kids, and 60 kids played. But even when the first team is on the field, it's tough to single out stars on a team that has seen 13 different players carry the ball in the first three games, and a defense that thrives off gang tackling. They're like grapes or bananas – Wylie's defense always comes in bunches.

The first-team defense hasn't allowed a point all season, and that's a big reason the Bulldogs are 3-0 and ranked No. 4 in the CA 3A rankings and No. 5 in the AP poll.

That all-for-one stuff is real at Wylie. It's what Sandifer believes in, what drives this program from kindergarten to the end zone, from little kids carrying off pads and helmets to a program that could be headed toward another state title.

The mantra is simple – it's about all of them, or as Sandifer said “every single one of them,'' and not just on the field.

“When you play us, you don't just play one of us. You play all of us,'' Sandifer said. “It's about the community, about everyone.''


The fever has never been hotter. More and more kids want to play football at Wylie. Last year, the turnout in seventh grade was phenomenal. There were 120 boys in seventh grade, and 100 went out for football. That's 80 percent, or 4 out of every 5 kids.

They had to add seats (1,200) to Bulldog Stadium, which now seats 8,000, and the feeling around Wylie is this could be the year. The horn showed up a year ago when two boosters – John Barbee and Drew Jennings built it. They put together six horns from semi trucks, which form one mind-blowing sound.

But the real sound of this program is that silent passage from one group of players to another and the way this team is embraced by everyone around it.

The link is solid and seems to grow stronger from one generation to the next, and maybe that's why Wylie just keeps on winning.

“We're not fast and we're not big,'' said Wylie's team doctor Robbie Cooksey, stating the obvious. “But they are such a blue-collar team, and so unselfish, and it all starts when they are little kids.

“I have three sons and all of them were in the Adopt a Bulldog program,'' he said. “Those players who played here and left still come back and visit my sons. They're still close.''

And this team is especially close.

“They have been playing together for a long time,'' said Gary Linn, who runs the horn and whose son is linebacker Andy Linn. “It's a great program, and the kids love the coaches. My son would walk through fire for his linebackers coach.

“This is a special class,'' he said. “Last year's team was a junior-driven team, and we came close. The last two teams that lost in the playoffs lost on the final series.''

Close may not explain it. Wylie lost in the state semifinals to Prosper in double overtime, and Prosper went on to beat La Vega (yes, the same La Vega) in the Class 3A state title game. Everyone in the south end of Abilene has been waiting all summer for football to begin – waiting with anticipation.

Sandifer can take all of it in stride. He's a rock.


He's been at Wylie 31 years, and this is his 24th as the head coach. His teams have been to the playoffs for the last 15 years (“We're hoping for 16,'' he said) and the Bulldogs won it all in 2004. His team lost to eventual state champ Gilmer, which scored in the final seconds, in 2007 and fell in OT to Prosper a year ago.

Even the little Bulldogs know this could be the year – even if they don't understand Dr. Cooksey's diagnosis that these Bulldogs aren't big or fast. Just good – real good.

Discipline.... Unselfish...Dedicated... It's a program based on all that and more.

“These kids grow up wanting to be Wylie Bulldogs, wanting to play on Friday nights,'' Sandifer said of his team's real source of strength.

“These kids get here and they are very dedicated to studying the game. They have seen great senior leadership before they got here, and they know what is expected of them when they do get here.

Wylie built a 22-0 lead before La Vega made its first first down, and Wylie's first-team defense held La Vega to only 43 yards in the first half.

Wylie scored quickly and in a variety of ways, building a 39-0 halftime lead on a pair of long runs, a 5-yard TD run, a 72-yard catch-and-run TD, a safety, a blocked punt for a TD and a 28-yard field goal..

Joe Nasser started the night off with a 48-yard TD run and Wylie's defense picked up two points on a safety on the ensuing kickoff for a 9-0 lead. Then Steve Cottner scored on a 5-yard run and Kolton Wright recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for the Bulldogs to make it 22-0.

Keith Green broke free for a 59-yard TD run, and Matt Preston hit Jon Miller with a 10-yard pass that Miller turned into a 72-yard catch and run TD to make it 36-0. Austin Gray, who had some key receptions in the first half, ended the halftime scoring with a 28-yard field goal.

La Vega scored on TD runs by QB Devin McGowan (1 yard), Devonte Jones (20 yards), Tevin Thomas (17 yards) and Kenneth Coleman (8 yards).

Wylie's final TD came on a 2-yard run from Ryan Pease.

Everyone plays as Abilene Wylie beats Waco La Vega
By: Mike Phillips • 9/19/2009 12:42:48 AM Share on Facebook

BELLMEAD, TX – T-shirts are sailing into the stands, smoke is coming from the tunnel and a horn (well, a lot more than just a horn) is blaring, blasting into the night loud enough and deep enough to take years off your life (or add them to it, depending if you're a Bulldog fan).

This is Wylie football, wild and wonderful, loud and robust – and this is an away game.

The Bulldogs are winning 39-0, and it's halftime. The team they are beating – Waco La Vega – played for the state title a year ago. Wylie spent 3 ½ hours on a bus just to get here, and this was supposed to be one of the top 3A games in the state.

It's a blowout – just listen to that horn.

The guys from Wylie unleash it with every Bulldog touchdown, and the TDs came early and often in this one. By the time the night ended it was 46-29, but don't let that score fool you. Wylie played backups the entire second half.

This team isn't just good, it's classy. Even when La Vega's Pirates looked like they might make it close, Wylie coach Hugh Sandifer kept his backups in the game.

“Well, we have a lot of depth,'' he said later. “And we want to play (the backups) in tight situations. We believe in all of them, every single one of them.''

And they believe in Sandifer.

He has built more than a football team and a classy program. There's a sense of belonging here – belonging to something bigger than one person or one team. And it starts when you are 5 years old.

There are no growing pains at Wylie, just growing.

If you want to see the face of this program, just take a look at Casom Grant – freckles and all. He's 10 years old and a fourth grader at Wylie Elementary. He's got a shock of red hair that could stop traffic and a smile as big as West Texas (after all, the Bulldogs are winning).

You've seen eye-black on football players. Casom wears “eye-purple” under his eyes for games, and he's wearing a bigger-than-life Wylie jersey with No. 44 plastered on it.

He's part of the “Adopt a Bulldog” program, the real secret at Wylie, where they take kids from kindergarten through sixth grade and let them have their own varsity football player. Casom's player is No. 44, linebacker Andy Linn, who had his own big Bulldog when he was younger. It's been working for years.

“It's awesome,'' said Casom, who took the field after the game and played catch with Linn. Casom and a bunch of other “little bulldogs,'' took their helmets from their players and took their pads, and walked around in their own slice of heaven.


“We get to get the pads,'' said a delighted Casom. “And the helmet. And we get to know the players.''

The best part?

“Oh, I think the best part is I get to talk to him about stuff I can't talk to other people about, like my friends,'' he said.

They're that close. That's the idea. The varsity players go to dinner with the kids, visit them at their homes, and hand down the whole football experience to a younger generation that will some day be on the same football field.

“We grew up wanting to be Bulldogs,'' said Wylie senior quarterback Matt Preston, who runs this offense like he has been doing it all his life.

“It's a great program,'' said running back Jon Miller. “We have a great system. We've all been brought up like this since we were in first grade, wanting to be a part of this team.''

Maybe that's why Wylie looks and feels and plays with such a different sense of the game. To call these kids unselfish is like saying Bill Gates is pretty good with computers. Preston and Miller, two of the biggest leaders on this team, had no problem sitting out the entire second half. They enjoyed seeing the backups.

“It was great to get everyone in the game,'' Preston said.

Everyone did get in the game, literally. Sandifer brought 60 kids, and 60 kids played. But even when the first team is on the field, it's tough to single out stars on a team that has seen 13 different players carry the ball in the first three games, and a defense that thrives off gang tackling. They're like grapes or bananas – Wylie's defense always comes in bunches.

The first-team defense hasn't allowed a point all season, and that's a big reason the Bulldogs are 3-0 and ranked No. 4 in the CA 3A rankings and No. 5 in the AP poll.

That all-for-one stuff is real at Wylie. It's what Sandifer believes in, what drives this program from kindergarten to the end zone, from little kids carrying off pads and helmets to a program that could be headed toward another state title.

The mantra is simple – it's about all of them, or as Sandifer said “every single one of them,'' and not just on the field.

“When you play us, you don't just play one of us. You play all of us,'' Sandifer said. “It's about the community, about everyone.''


The fever has never been hotter. More and more kids want to play football at Wylie. Last year, the turnout in seventh grade was phenomenal. There were 120 boys in seventh grade, and 100 went out for football. That's 80 percent, or 4 out of every 5 kids.

They had to add seats (1,200) to Bulldog Stadium, which now seats 8,000, and the feeling around Wylie is this could be the year. The horn showed up a year ago when two boosters – John Barbee and Drew Jennings built it. They put together six horns from semi trucks, which form one mind-blowing sound.

But the real sound of this program is that silent passage from one group of players to another and the way this team is embraced by everyone around it.

The link is solid and seems to grow stronger from one generation to the next, and maybe that's why Wylie just keeps on winning.

“We're not fast and we're not big,'' said Wylie's team doctor Robbie Cooksey, stating the obvious. “But they are such a blue-collar team, and so unselfish, and it all starts when they are little kids.

“I have three sons and all of them were in the Adopt a Bulldog program,'' he said. “Those players who played here and left still come back and visit my sons. They're still close.''

And this team is especially close.

“They have been playing together for a long time,'' said Gary Linn, who runs the horn and whose son is linebacker Andy Linn. “It's a great program, and the kids love the coaches. My son would walk through fire for his linebackers coach.

“This is a special class,'' he said. “Last year's team was a junior-driven team, and we came close. The last two teams that lost in the playoffs lost on the final series.''

Close may not explain it. Wylie lost in the state semifinals to Prosper in double overtime, and Prosper went on to beat La Vega (yes, the same La Vega) in the Class 3A state title game. Everyone in the south end of Abilene has been waiting all summer for football to begin – waiting with anticipation.

Sandifer can take all of it in stride. He's a rock.


He's been at Wylie 31 years, and this is his 24th as the head coach. His teams have been to the playoffs for the last 15 years (“We're hoping for 16,'' he said) and the Bulldogs won it all in 2004. His team lost to eventual state champ Gilmer, which scored in the final seconds, in 2007 and fell in OT to Prosper a year ago.

Even the little Bulldogs know this could be the year – even if they don't understand Dr. Cooksey's diagnosis that these Bulldogs aren't big or fast. Just good – real good.

Discipline.... Unselfish...Dedicated... It's a program based on all that and more.

“These kids grow up wanting to be Wylie Bulldogs, wanting to play on Friday nights,'' Sandifer said of his team's real source of strength.

“These kids get here and they are very dedicated to studying the game. They have seen great senior leadership before they got here, and they know what is expected of them when they do get here.


“That's where it begins, and that's why it is about the community – about everyone.''

Wylie let them score how many points? Don't use the "we let everybody play" EXCUSE. Remember, excuses aren't relevant. :rolleyes:

You didn't play Brownwood that night so it really doesn't matter.

WOW, nearly 500 posts and 9000 views so far.

Thats an awful lot of hype for a game that Wylie will completely dominate. The only real suspense is, whether Wylie will have to wait till the 4th quarter to put in the scrubs, or will they do it earlier? LOL :D

You know better, STANG.

Wylie doesn't get to play a tough team at home for the first time in a long time. Nobody, and I mean nobody, comes into our house and pushes us around.
