PFLUGERVILLE — The Bellville High School football team is heading to Cowboy Stadium in Arlington for the UIL State Football Championship game as they defeated Wimberley High School Dec. 7 in flugerville in thrilling fashion by a final score of 35-33. This was a game where the two teams answered each other’s scores throughout the match and a missed extra point by Wimberley late in the game made a huge difference as the Texans weren’t able to convert on a last second two-point conversion, ultimately sealing the deal for Bellville.
“Right now, it feels pretty good,” said Bellville head football coach Grady Rowe. “We’re gonna enjoy this thing, but we’re gonna be ready to go to work. I’m so proud of our kids. So proud of our community. You see that crowd. Wow. They showed up.”
Brahmas four-star defensive lineman DJ Sanders made a huge strip and score for a touchdown on one of the first few plays of the game to put his team ahead early. He’s also wreaked havoc on opposing offensive lineman ever since he’s put on a Bellville uniform. “We worked hard all week,” Sanders said. “This is very, very exciting for Bellville to go to state, you know. We’re working hard every day.”
