BRECKENRIDGE, Texas — Heading into University Interscholastic League Division I, District 4-3A play, Breckenridge High School or its varsity football team may not have been on the minds of many.
The Buckaroos were coming off a tremendously tough non-district slate in which they were winless while Brock was viewed by many as the team to beat — or better yet, the team none would beat. Breckenridge, however, rose to the task and toppled all its district opponents and set the stage for another showdown with the Eagles.
Most matchups between the two teams were close and hard-fought games, usually with Brock coming out on top. That is until the Buckaroos decided they’d finally had enough.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for those guys; they’re as fundamentally sound as anyone,” said Breckenridge Head Coach Casey Hubble, in his fourth year at the helm. “Everybody’s surprised [by the win], but we’ve had the same battle with those guys three of the last four years. Our kids aren’t scared of anyone. We respect everyone, but our kids know how to play football. We expected the win.”
