It’s district season for Wylie and several other Big Country teams as the games that really matter begin.

The Bulldogs and Cooper are back after being out last week while Abilene High takes time off this week after a 1-1 start in District 2-6A.

The Cougars start this week Thursday night as they host Fort Worth Arlington Heights. Joey Richards will be at Shotwell Stadium as Cooper tries to get over 0.500 in District 3-5A Division I.

Jordan Hofeditz will return to Sandifer Stadium as Wylie begins his District 3-5A Division II program by hosting No.8 Wichita Falls Rider.

For the Big Country game of the week, Carson Field will travel to Sweetwater where the Mustangs will host Snyder in the District 1-4A Division II opener.

Editor-in-chief Greg Jaklewicz will be in Tuscola for an unbeaten battle between Jim Ned and Early.
