BELLVILLE — Brahmas foot- ball won their first game of the sea son in dominating fashion by defeating La Grange High School August 25 at Brahmas Field with a final score of 68-20. Bellville was able to reach the end zone quick and didn’t let go of their large lead throughout the game, going up 62-13 at halftime and running the clock out for the majority of the second half en route to Bellville head football coach Grady Rowe’s 116th victory at Bellville, the most in school history.
“First off, very proud because of the tradition here and the job that Huey Chancellor did,” said Rowe on the record-breaking feat. “It’s amazing. I am very proud of that, but that’s a staff thing. That’s a kid thing because they’ve sold out for us. Proud of us defensively forcing some three and outs. With them running their pace, I thought that was really important creating turnovers early and got them kind of out of sync. Really proud of our guys up front and what they did. Of course our backs, that’s one of the strengths on our team. Our backs did a great job.”
Bellville junior running back DD Murray had himself a night with 151 yards rushing on nine carries for three touchdowns. “It’s gonna develop us,” Murray said on the win. “Just on to the next one. We got a nice competition next week and we just got to build off this one.”
