BRADY— The Brady Bulldogs kick off their district schedule with a tough matchup against Layne Honea and the TLCA San Angelo Eagles.
In Week Five, the Bulldogs lost a close one to the Christoval Cougars, 20-16. One thing noticed about Brady is how many players were on the sideline with injuries. Running back Zeke Jones, linebacker Johnny Menefield, and wide receiver Ashton Ramsey, three of the bigger playmakers for the Bulldogs, sat on the sidelines.
The TLCA San Angelo Eagles shut out the Stanton Buffaloes in Week Five, 41-0. Honea connected on 18 of his 29 passes for 339 yards and four touchdowns. Luis Casillas and Isaiah Vaquera caught eight passes for 200 yards and three scores combined against Stanton.
