The next couple of weeks will determine the fate of the Armadillos 2023 football season as the team will compete for the 4th seat in district 25-2A. In a nutshell, a win in the next two weeks against Bangs and Goldthwaite would all but secure a place in the playoffs for the 5th time in six years. The Dillos do have a week 10 matchup with the #4 team in the state Tolar Rattlers, but by then the seatings should all be squared away as the Dillos will have the tie breakers over Hamilton, Bangs and Goldthwaite. So now San Saba will take the short drive up the road and face a struggling Bangs Dragon team. Bangs (1-5, 0-2 in district) will look to play the spoiler role against San Saba when the teams face off for the 35th time. Drum roll please…. And now your useless (but always good to know) facts about the game.
