sons of football-the non-district
season, the district season, and
the post season, and we have
reached our goal," said Burtch.
"If, your going to talk about
Thanksgiving weekend
like we have, and making deep
runs, then our team is going
to face 'state champion' caliber
teams."
■fhe Bulldogs clinched a
share of the District 4-AAA title,
along with Sweetwater and Sny-
der, following their 38-7 win over
the Clyde Bulldogs Friday night at
Bulldog Stadium in Wylie.
Led by senior quarterback
Case Keenum, who has passed
for over 6,000 yards in his high
school career, the Bulldogs will
line up in an array of offensive for-
mations, ranging from the Power
I-Formation, to one-back and no-
back sets,
"If you could draw up an
offensive formation, Wylie more
than tlkety runs 1t,“ said Burtch.
"According to our scouting re-
ports, Wylie lined in upwards to
62 formations, but they only have
10 to 12 plays that they run out of
all the formations."
This team is probably the
most complete team that we will
face this season," sai^l Burtch.
According to Burtch, the Wy-
lie offense can be best described
as a 'West Coast" style offense,
where time of possession and ball
movement are major keys in their
strategy.
"They like to keep the ball
and keep their defense on the
sideline, but they also possess
the ability to score quick and in a
hurry," said Burtch.
According to Burtch, Keenum
TXDOT l Rail Project
Receives State Acceptance
ery Tuesday morning. "It's
an acknowledgement from the
TXDoT main office in Austin,
stating that we have a viable
project.
With the Gaines County
Rail Plan included in the study,
the state will work with local of-
ficials on a feasibility study from
the state's perspective, to help
state officials determine the need
of such a project in West Texas,
according to Montgomery.
The local rail project calls
for the rail line to connect off of
two existing lines, one being in
Hobbs, New Mexico.
The line would run east
through Gaines County and
then turn north somewhere
around the City of Seminole and
connect with an existing railway
line in Seagraves.
The unofficial word reached
Montgomery a few weeks ago,
but he stated that TXDoT is in
the process of preparing a news
release on the matter within the
next few weeks.
"With our State Senator (Kel
Seliger) and State Representa-
tive (Delwin Jones) in town, I
thought that this would be a
good time to 'let the public and
our elected officials know of the
good news," said Montgomery.
Along with the state's rec-
ognition, Montgomery is also
awaiting word from the United
States Congress on possible fed-
eral monies that would be used
toward a feasibility study for the
same project
According to Montgomery,
an answer to the question’of
From Page One
whether the federal government
will or will not help fund for a
feasibility study with federal
money, will not be heard for
several weeks.
"My office has worked real
close with Congressman Randy
Neugebaiier's office, as well as
the rail planners from Hobbs,
New Mexico and other high
ranking officials in Texas and
New Mexico," said Montgomery.
"Everyone that I have been in
contact with is aware of what
we have going here and they
are there to help us with this
project."
The state's Master Rail Plan,
also includes rail plans and proj-
ects from all across the state of
Texas, including the highly pub-
licized Trans-Texas Corridor,
which will parallel Interstate 35
in central Texas.
has already committed to “play
football ?it the University of Hous-
ton upon graduation this season.
"He is possibly the best quar-
terback we will face all season,"
said Burtch. "He can run if you
allow him to and he throws with
precision to the receivers who
need the football. He's a great
athlete."
To counter the Wylie offense,
Burtch stated that the Indians will
give the Bulldogs some different
defensive looks on Friday night,
which will include blitz stunts from
different locations.
On the defensive side of the
football, the Bulldogs will base
out of the 5-2 formation, with
2004 All-State nose guard Jared
Robertson (6-0, 230, 4.8) will
spearhead a Bulldog defense that
has allowed an average of 220
yards per game this season, and
an average of just 14 points.
'They are athletic," said
Burtch. "They have size and
quickness on the defensive line,
their linebackers are quick, and
their defensive backs are very
hard to beat on the deep passes."
In order for the Indian of-
fense to be successful, according
to Burtch, the Indians will have to
rely on their short passing game
and play-action passing to coun-
ter the speed and strength of the
Wylie front seven and the speed of
the Bulldogs defensive backs.
The Seminole/Wylie match-
up will the second part of a District
3-AAA/District 4-AAA double-
header, as the Snyder Tigers and
Monahans Loboes will square off
in a 5:30 p.m. Class 3A, Division
II Bi-District contest at Grande
Stadium.
Pre-game ticket prices are $3
for students and $5 for adults and
can be purchased through noon
on Friday at the SISD Athletic
Director's office.
Ticket prices at the gate will
cost $6, and all tickets sold are
good for both football games.
In other playoff action, the
Midland Greenwood . Rangers
and the Sweetwater Mustangs will
square off in a Thursday evening
battle at San Angelo Stadium
to kickoff the region's Bi-District
playoff action.
