Could be a close one but the Bulldogs should win
Don't have a lot of info on the Leps. They do lead D 12 in Team Defense.
Sweeny leads D 11 in both Offense and Defense although the district is very top heavy.
Should be exciting as always when the Leps and Dogs tangle.
La Grange has a very stout defense this year. On offense they have an explosive running game and rely on short play action passing plays to keep the defense honest. Unlike recent teams post Dobbins era, we have both size and speed so they should be able to hang with Sweeny. D12 had more parity than D11 with 5 competitive teams and Royal. For example, Bellville lost in OT to Gddings by a FG, beat LG 14-6 and got beat by 5th place Caldwell 33-25 at home! Going with strength of schedule and our districts parity won loss records really do not count much in terms of predicting the outcome for this game. Finally, our special team play has been excellent which can make the difference in a close game with lots of punts by both teams. Against Giddings our punter pinned the Buffs inside the 5 twice. We had great field position which lead to one of our two tds . It probably will be close like a one possession game. I'll take our chances and go with the Leps by a td.
I look for this to be one of the better 1st round games.Sweeny is favored but I wouldn't sleep on La Grange.
Sweeny got a wake up call from Wharton. Leps may have to pay for it. Bulldogs 27 Leps 10
Stink on stink , low man wins = Ricebird football.
Should be a very good game. Special teams and turnovers will be a big factor. If LG can control the line of scrimmage and hang onto the ball they win in a close one. I know LG can't get in a track meet and it appears Sweeny has had several of those type games this year.
Kates et al will have the LEPS ready. Go LEPS , LG by 3 1/2.
Sweeny really has only been tested twice this year and lost one of those.They have played a very weak schedule.Not saying they aren't that good in spite of their schedule just need to play better teams before I'm sold.
