Because of the tough competition, these teams set high goals and grew stronger throughout the season. During pre-season at the Texas High School Coaches Association, Sweeny was picked first in district followed by Hitchcock and Van Vleck, Head Coach Bob Pyssen wamed, The top teams are going to be Hitchcock and Van Vleck, look for both of these to be real tough. And tough, they were. Even though Sweeny had to settle for second place in district, their performances on both offense and defense proved their true strength. Only allowing 15 points throughout the entire season, the Mad Dog defense dominated most of the games while the Sweeny offense scored 281 points using plays like 36-socket and 18-option. Looking forward to next year, Coach Pyssen projected that with hard work and dedication the Bulldogs will prevail in 1982. The tougher the competition gets, the stronger we'll get, he said. ie . if .hQi elf 1 1 14525 1, I . r ,ft fel.. rr' . ' . fx X , K-1 5 k 1 E 'iw' X ,I fffdf, is s W I ,X , X v, Pat Mora Reid.
