This game will most probably decide the 3A-D1 district championship, but it is only the first district game for both clubs. Four of the five teams in this district will make the playoffs, but this particular game has a special meaning attached to it. Hallettsville had Nate Kowalik as their qb last season, but now he is the qb for the Goliad Tigers, a district rival. Kowalik's dad took over as the principal of GHS this summer, and the family moved to Goliad. Last season with the Brahmas Kowalik threw 41 TD passes as a junior. He has brought his talents to Goliad this season, and so far has enjoyed a similar success with the Tigers. Last season Hallettsville went 13-1, but did not play Goliad(7-5). This season they are both in the same district, and this is sort of a "grudge" match....strictly due to the transfer of Kowalik. Each team has something to "prove" to the other. Hallettsville wants to prove its dominance despite the loss of Kowalik this season, and Goliad wants to prove that Kowalik will help carry the Tigers to a district championship and beyond this season. Getting a win this week is top priority to both of these teams. Who ya got?
