(Seguin) — It’s a battle of 2-2 teams in District 13-5A as the Seguin Matadors host the Wagner Thunderbirds tonight at Matador Stadium.
Both teams have lost to Pieper and Smithson Valley. The Warriors top the district at 4-0. The Rangers are tied for second with New Braunfels at 3-1. Seguin and Wagner are currently tied for the fourth and final playoff spot in the district standings with three games left in the season.
“We’re treating it like a playoff game,” Seguin head coach Craig Dailey said about tonight’s match-up. “We got to make them go down the field and not give up big plays.
“Defensively, they’re super-athletic. They give you a bunch of different looks, a lot of different fronts. They play different coverages. Every game they have a different look, so we have to figure out what their plan is to stop us.”
Tonight’s game kicks off at 7 p.m. We’ll have the game on KWED. Prior to tonight’s kickoff, former Seguin student-athlete Brooke Abrameit and former Seguin athletic director and head football coach Mike Honeycutt will be inducted into the Seguin ISD Athletic Hall of Honor.
