Bangs heads to Brady looking to build on its first District 7-2A Division I win after routing Coleman, 53-10. The Dragons’ run game and defense have the edge on paper, but coach Colton Buzzard says Brady’s physicality and close-call losses make the winless Bulldogs a dangerous opponent.

By the Numbers
  • Bangs: 4-3 overall, 1-1 in district; Brady: 0-7 overall, 0-2 in district.
  • Bangs beat Coleman 53-10, gaining 405 yards; Connor Bible ran for 244 yards and five touchdowns.
  • Bangs averages 34 points per game; Brady averages 16 and allows 38.
  • Bible has 927 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns this season.
  • Bangs is a 17-point favorite, per Dave Campbell’s Texas Football.
Yes, But

Brady’s record and defensive numbers favor Bangs, but Buzzard cautions against overlooking a big, physical team that has suffered bad luck. The Dragons will need to protect the ball and sustain long drives against a defense they expect to challenge them.

State of Play
  • Bangs is seeking its second straight district win after a shutout loss to second-ranked Mason in its league opener.
  • Friday’s game kicks off at 7 p.m. in Brady.
Bottom Line

Bangs has momentum and a potent rushing attack, but a district road game is no formality: execution and ball security will determine whether the Dragons keep their winning push alive.
