So with longtime defensive coordinator Dougald McDougald now having moved just across Lake Houston to take the head coaching job at Huffman Hargrave High School, it will seem a bit different this year on the Wildcat sidelines at Turner Stadium. It was just five carries. But it was probably five more carries than anyone recently thought Spring High graduate Benjamin Gay would ever get in a National Football League game. And it was five carries for 22 yards for Gay that allowed the Cleveland Browns to seal a 10-3 victory over Green Bay Saturday night in the NFL exhibition opener for both teams at Cleveland Stadium before 72,481 fans. It is August.
School starts for everyone within a couple of weeks.
But all across Texas and America, high school football coaches everywhere have already gotten busy. Along with their volleyball and cross country counterparts. To those football fans that visit Leonard George Stadium this fall to attend a Spring or Westfield game, you'll noticed they've rolled out the new carpet. Like the dudes on the radio Friday said, when talking about football, pretty soon, we'll be playing games. It is the final days of July.
