Its time for Wylie
By Ken Mauldin
October 9, 2007
Clyde definitely lost a heartbreaker to Burkburnett last Friday. Clyde was ahead 13-3 in the 4th qtr and also only needed to stop a 4th and long in overtime to win the game. It's over now though and it wasn't a district game. Win or lose it was a very impressive showing, this Clyde team now with 2 losses, could easily be 6-0. Our district record is 0-0 and that's all that really matters.
Clyde starts district play this Friday night against the Wylie Bulldogs (perhaps you have heard of them). I believe they will be the best team we have played this year. The game is at Wylie, where at least most of the people will get to sit down (when not jumping up and down). If anyone has been to Clyde game lately it appears we only have seating for about 70% of our attendance at most, but that's another subject. Getting back to the game, our one common opponent has been Graham which we both lost to. I think both teams would like to get a chance to replay that one. Wylie may get that chance in the Division I playoffs. Clyde will have to play their best game of the year to beat this Wylie team, but this isn't like the past where we have to hope for a miracle. This Clyde team can play toe to toe with Wylie, we just need to get off to a good start.
The rest of the district.
Sweetwater - as expected have come to life. They are improving dramatically each week with their starting qb back in action. They are our next opponent after Wylie, so there will be no rest. I feel much better about playing them at home, then on the road. That will be a big plus.
Breckenridge - another team coming to life. They had a hard time in the second half with Vernon last week, but Vernon is a very good offensive team. Breck will have the Clyde Bulldogs marked on their calendar this year after last years result that knocked them out of the playoffs.
Comanche - definitely not playing at the level of the other teams in this district.
