The Battle of the Bernard

[SHSBulldog00]

For those that don't know this is the name of the Rivalry between Sweeny - West Columbia. The series dates back to the 1950's. The game was cancelled for two years in the 1950's because the fans started fighting on the field during the game. This year the game will be played at West Columbia. So LET'S GET IT ON!

[SHSBulldog00]

You can throw out the records in this game.

fail @ me having work friday night.

move the chains, text me updates if you go to the game (you're probably not going though).

go necks, win by 14.

I would have to lean towards Columbia. They have the largest secondary coach in texas high school football!! That has to account for something.:D

This game depends on which Sweeny team shows up. If the Sweeny team that played Stafford shows in West Columbia I think Sweeny will win. Turnovers will be key in this game.

I'll go with an honest prediction of 34-21. I hope the Necks prove me wrong.

Right now, it looks like Sweeny and Needville are the teams to beat in 26.

[SHSBulldog00]

That very well could be the score. I think West Columbia will keep it close. Conditioning will be a huge factor for both teams.

The starters are pretty good, but the yound guys make some bonehead moves every now and then. Couple times we had blown coverage against Needville and Berry made us pay with 2 passes for 88 yds and 2 tds.


Lemon has a good arm and you just know Woodard is going to be doing everything he can to bust em lose on us.


I think it depends on how good of receivers you guys have.


If they get open and force our defense to back off a bit to protect against the pass, Woodard is gonna tear us a new one on the ground.

If we can keep the receivers in check and play tight to the line, we should be able to handle Woodard.

Limit the big plays, smart football, and finishing drives is what it will take for the Necks to pull it out.


Good luck Roughnecks! :clap:

[SHSBulldog00]

Who won the Tug of War between the cities of Sweeny and West Columbia earlier this year?

[SHSBulldog00]

We have a pretty good Receiving Corp. Lemon spreads it around pretty well. Against Stafford he was 1 of 5 for a 23 yd TD. It poured the whole game. That's why we ran for 302 yds on Stafford.

We usually don't pass much, but when we got behind about 3 scores we started passing. Granted we didn't complete very many.... but I liked the fact we were atleast trying. I think if it were dry, we would've completed some of those.


I like when our QB has the opportunity to run of throw out of the shotgun. Once he gets past the line, he can make some things happen.

I'm not so fond of the TB draws and such out of the shotgun. They never seem to go anywhere.


Oh well. I think we can sit back and complete those 6-7 yd routes all game. Will we do it? Doubtful. But, I liked the fact that we atleast aired it out a bit and let our QB do some things last game.


Hopefully he can make some plays this week against Sweeny.

[SHSBulldog00]

I was impressed with Lewis when I saw them play St. Pius. He is very explosive.

I'm not asking for long passes because we don't really have the receivers for that or the QB, but just enough to keep em off guard. If we run on 1st and 2nd down and go nowhere, then run a bootleg and pass to the flat on 3rd down every drive... we're not going to beat anyone. :(

A Sweeny win puts them in the drivers seat as far a playoff spot. A Sweeny loss means they have to win two out of last three. A West Columbia win puts them in place for a playoff spot with Brookshire being their only tough game remaining. A Neck loss and W.C. will have to win out and hope they can grab a playoff spot.

A Neck loss + winning out = playoffs.

A Neck win + 2/3 remaing = playoffs

Sweeny win + 1/3 remaining = playoffs

Sweeny loss + 2/3 remaining = playoffs

When Boling and Van Vleck play for some reason they call it Caney Creek Battle

[SHSBulldog00]

But do they have T-Shirts for those games? I have every Battle of the Bernard Shirt since 1993. Don't know if any were made before then.

[GrTigers6]

I don't know anything about either team but I did live in Brazoria and then West Columbia for 3 years. So I am familiar with this rivalry. Back when I lived there Columbia was a 4A school and was hit and miss making the playoffs. Sweeny was 3A and pretty consistant. It seemed like Columbia measured there season by that game. But it was always fun to watch.
My gut says Sweeny to win but my heart wants Columbia to pull off the upset.

I don't know who the secondary coach is but I was in the bleachers at practice yesterday and heard him yelling but could not understand him. But he was talking fairly clear for having 2/3 of a Big Mac in his mouth. He even had the fries in his pocket and would sneak one every now and then.

Well if that is the case both the Sweeny and Columbia coach should have an eating contest. Every point scored will be based on the amount of burgers eaten.

[themsu97]

there ain't enough burgers in the world... that is alot of fat on the field then...

West Columbia 1-4

Sweeny plays well against some school's and plays poorly other weeks. Which team will show up.

[SHSBulldog00]

I'll say Sweeny 35-14.

This quote is still true for the West Columbia Students. They may not watch another game but they will show for this one.

The stands will be full. Last week the crowd was small because of the rain but it won't matter this week. The Sweeny players will were their all white uniforms. The fans will be wearing the blue.

[SHSBulldog00]

I think part of the reason the turnout in Sweeny was so low was because it was Stafford. Sweeny won 48-2 enough said.

WC will win the game by atleast a td, practice this week always seem to run more intense because of the rivalry and the intensity will carry over onto the field. as long as turnovers are kept to a minimum i dont see a way for them to lose this game.

I've seen the 8th grade at Sweeny and they weren't impressive.

Sweeny leads the all time series. At one point I had the numbers. Maybe WOS87 can help us out.

Heard we just lost a lot of kids to grades though and that now we only have 1 8th grade team and 1 7th grade team instead of A and B for both.

[SHSBulldog00]

Sweeny's JH players are small. W.C. usually has a lot of size.

[Move The Chains]

I think we've got some kids with speed too. Last year we had an 8th grader named Floyd Bess that was pretty quick for a JH kid. I swear I thought he'd be on varsity as a freshman. Guess not though.


I'd like to see him as the QB in the next year or so if he continues to develop. Somebody go to the freshman game and tell me if you see him playing and what he looks like as far as a future QB? :thinking:

Actually I was wrong and I admit it. The first game was in 1947 a 50-6 win for Sweeny.

However we did not play every year.

West Columbia leads series 28-27-1

That means this year is the 57th meeting

Why has W.C. just thrown for 287 yards is Lewis not accurate or the WR's not very coordinated.

He's not that good yet. He has 72 carries for 365 yards 6 TD's

QB Daymond Lewis is the real threat he has 94 carries 685 yards 4 TD's.

Thursday's game change. The Freshman and JV games have been moved to W.C. at 5 and 6:30 because of poor field conditons in Sweeny.

[Move The Chains]

Lil Flannel has talent but he is still unproven.


We'd like to think he'll be as good as his brother, but not as of right now. He makes some nice plays, but doesn't seem to have the vision or burst his older brother had. He's only a soph. He will def get better tho.


And Columbia only has 200 something yards passing because they only run about 6-7 pass plays a game.

Lewis isn't that accurate and our WR's are sort of a weak spot on this team.

[SHSBulldog00]

Thanks MTC

I do I was in JR. High when they played in the dome...I think every player that has ever wore a Sweeny or West Columbia jersy still gets goosebumps when these two teams play.

You will see people at this game you haven't seen in 10-20 years.
