Sweeny
La Grange
Clearly from the action on this thread this game is one of the most interesting Bi-District games this week. I think LG is underrated. Both their losses to ranked teams (Bellville and Giddings) were close. If the Leps can stop shooting themselves in the foot with penalties (chop blocks ??? 4 in two games?? really?) they should have a chance to steal this one.
I think this game could go either way. If Sweeny gets ahead by a couple TD's early it could be tough for La Grange to recover.
It's going to come down to ball control. The LG offense must gain the advantage in time of possession while the defense gets a few stops. Field position will be critical so special teams and good coaching come into play. Sweeny has an explosive offense so the Leps have their work cut out for them.
Be watching this one.We get the winner.
Sweeny has played 3 games with a running clock this year. One of which started at the beginning of the 2nd QTR. It will be nice to see them play a full game again. Conditioning should not be a problem as I know the coaches have the boys in great shape. We have also used several different skill players during the season.
Interesting that Sweeny is coming off 3 easy wins (Houston teams)while LG is coming off 2 close hard fought losses to giddings and Bellville. Our boys expecting another physical ballgame and are prepped and playing up to speed. We lost three starters in those games, 2 on defense and one on offense so we are a little banged up but the bench is deep this year especially on Defense.
Sweeny has too been in track meets. They've been the only ones running. Sorry for not being specific.
Leps by 3 1/2

Game day! LG comes into this game looking for a win after two close and tough losses to very physical teams, Bellville and Giddings. Sweeny will be another tough team and will challenge the Leps to play better. It's all on the table tonight. See you at 7PM.
Sweeny has a very good defense. (very good)
Yep that's exactly what happened. Dogs got up 21-0 in the 2nd until the Leps scored before the half. The second half was a different story. After some adjustments the Lep D started to get a grip and shut down the potent Sweeny offense and allowed the Lep O to get back in the game. To quote Vince Lombardi "We didn't lose the game we just ran out of time". Good luck Bulldogs. I'll be pulling for you against WOS next week. This could be a big run for Bulldogs this year.
That was a hard fought battle. I tip my cap to LG for their fight and tenacity. The young men from LG brought it last night. I believe this was the best matchup in the state for 4A. We will have our hands full once again next week as to me this is the toughest region in the class.
