San Saba will finish their four-game road trip this Friday when they take on the Bulldogs of Hamilton at Kooken Field. This will be the first game of district play for both teams. San Saba comes into the game 4-0 while Hamilton ended their pre-district schedule at 2-2. Hamilton’s losses come from Millsap (40-0) and Santo (27-0) with wins over Bosqueville (3533) and Jewett Leon (34-14). If numbers mean anything then the Dillos have somewhat of an advantage. San Saba is 3-0 on the road this season while both of Hamilton’s losses have come at home. On another interesting side note, the earliest game to be found by this researcher was San Saba and Hamilton way back in 1916 and appears to be the first recorded game for the Armadillos. Let us look at some useless (but always good to know) facts about the two teams.
