Brazoswood is hopeful it has fixed its mistakes from last week’s District 24-6A defeat to district-leading Dickinson in time to make a run at a postseason berth.

Four quarters make a dollar, but Sweeny has been getting by lately with 50 cents. Bulldogs coach Clayton Odom, however, wants his team to put together the other 50 cents sooner rather than later.

With the cross country season winding down the district meets will get rolling this week as Angleton and Danbury will put their seasons on the line.

SWEENY — What looked to be a homecoming rout at the hands of La Marque ended with all smiles for the Sweeny Bulldogs, who rallied for a 28-27 victory in the District 9-4A Division II opener for both teams.

Facing a loaded Dickinson Gator squad, the Brazoswood Buccaneers knew they couldn't afford to have too many mishaps to stay close to them.

Untimely penalties and detrimental mistakes are something Brazosport coach Mark Kanipes hopes the team’s bye week fixed.

Although the Sweeny Bulldogs had a slow start in non-district play, they hope to turn things around in the latter part of the season.

Danbury coach Trey Herrmann believes his team has a good chance to secure a playoff spot after finishing the non-district schedule with a winning record for the first time since 2018.

If you ask anyone who regularly fishes Matagorda, they will tell you their favorite month to fish is in October.

Brazosport tennis is making the best out of a tough situation. The tennis team played its third and final regular-season match Tuesday, falling to Needville, 18-1, in District 25-4A play. However, there is another underlying issue.

The bye week was well-deserved. Now Brazoswood hopes to put the much-needed break to good use.

Trying to sweep their pair of district matches against Boling, the Danbury Lady Panthers couldn’t repeat their earlier success as they lost Tuesday in straight sets, 25-15, 25-19, 25-13.

Coming off a strong Spring Game, Cameron Stone has worked himself into a rotation on the field at the University of Wyoming.

The senior did it all offensively in Saturday’s home game against Conroe Northside. He had six receptions for 40 yards at receiver, completed a pair of passes for 12 yards in place of freshman Luke Coburn, and ran six times for 76 yards and one touchdown. His touchdown was a 20-yard run that included scrambling from defenders in the pocket and finding an opening down the right sideline.

Danbury is in the midst of a playoff run, and there is nobody better to rely on than its seniors. Outside hitter and setter Hayley Matheson wants to shoulder the team’s load to get the Lady Panthers back in the postseason.

If keeping up with a potent Conroe Northside offense was tough enough, Brazosport Christian had the task of trying to limit it in the mud.

Sweeny realized what kind of a team it can be when it brings energy to the court. In Friday's District 25-4A matchup against Brazosport, Sweeny lacked energy the first two sets, resulting in a 2-0 hole, but the Lady Dogs overcame a gutwrenching second-set loss and relied on their power hitters in the following three sets to upset the Lady Exporters 18-25, 25-27, 25-19, 25-8, 15-5.

With the Yellowjackets looking for their first four-game win streak since 2004, the Pearland Oilers had different ideas Friday as they pounded the home team 56-14 at Alvin Memorial Stadium on Friday.

Isaac Ponce has always wanted to be the best at whatever he does, no matter the circumstances. That mentality has become a valuable asset for Brazoswood football.

Despite an 0-4 record and another crushing loss last week, Brazosport Christian coach David Cuthbertson is treating this week like it’s the team first game as they prepare to host Conroe Northside Sports Association.

It'll be a stern test this weekend for the Angleton Wildcats in their fourth District 10-5A D-I contest this season when they face Fort Bend Hightower.

A little kindness most of the time will go a long way as Sweeny’s Joshua Thomas showed last week during the Needville Cross Country Invitational at Seabourne Creek Park in Rosenberg.

Volleyball teams have approached the halfway point of their district season following play Tuesday and there is still much to sort out.
