ARLINGTON — The Bellville High School football team barely fell in a close one to Gilmer High School Dec. 15 at AT&T Cowboy Stadium in Arlington by a final score of 28-26. It was an offensive battle as Bellville did their usually running and Gilmer scored mostly through the air in a match that came down to the final seconds of the game.
“Turnovers and penalties that we haven’t really done all year,” said Bellville head football coach Grady Rowe on the outcome of the game.
“So proud of our kids. They came back and fought so hard. Just so proud of them. You can’t win these games and have those kind of penalties and turn the ball over. Some of those things we especially did in the first half. These guys, everyday they came to work. They love being around each other. You saw our crowd. Bellville, America shut down and they showed up. Super proud of our guys, the coaching staff, and community.”
