Bastrop's Swagger is Back
from the Austin American-Statesman
 The star of the show was supposed to be the venue, the 8,000-seat stadium with all the amenities to make Bastrop a major player in Central Texas football. Soon after the near-sellout crowd caught a glimpse of Bastrop Memorial Stadium—cool jumbotron, by the way—attention turned to the field. Not only do the Bears have a quality place to call home, they have uncovered a talented football team in the process. Bastrop improved to 4-0 on Friday night by whipping Pflugerville 41-26 in a game that was a shocking 31-0 at halftime. More

He accounted for 634 of Boyd's 786 total offensive yards, rushed for four touchdowns and threw for four more in a 78-51 win. Ask Griffin about it, however, and mum's the word.

Off-week Comes at Good Time for Frenship Squad
from Lone Star Varsity
The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time for the Frenship football program.
It’s not like the Tigers have had a bad non-conference slate, in fact a normal one in going 4-1 losing only to Abilene Wylie, ranked in the top five in Class 3A. But as the Tigers come out of the inflatable tunnel each week they seem to be followed by a M.A.S.H unit due to all the injuries that have been suffered.
