In the past, when Sealy and Sweeny matched up on the football field, a big game was in store for all the fans attending. But in recent years, the Bulldogs lost a bit of their bite but with new coach Jay Seibert at the helm, Sweeny has returned to a bit of its past glory this season.

All year long, Sealy Head Football Coach Clint Finley has said that his Tigers needed to quit inflicting self-wounds to their gameplans and if that happened, a winning result would follow. Last Friday at T.J.

Brazos will be looking to get back into the win column in district play when the Cougars travel to take on winless Danbury this Friday night. Standing at 1-3 in District 14-3A play, the Cougars still have a shot at a playoff berth this season.

For the second time this season, Sealy took on second-place Needville and battled the Lady Bluejays until the final set before dropped a 3-1 decision. Needville took the first set 25-23 but Sealy came right back with a roaring 26-24 victory in the second set.
