The Godley Wildcats will visit Gordon Wood Stadium tonight (Thurs) for the only scrimmage of the season for the Brownwood Lions.

Action begins at 5 p.m. with the freshmen and JV scrimmages taking place on opposite ends of the field. Then, at 6:30 p.m., the Brownwood and Godley varsity squads will square off against each other.

“We’re going to try and simulate the half like it will be next Friday at Lampasas,” said Lions third-year head coach Sammy Burnett. “We want to have everybody prepared, make sure we have all our communication down and all our equipment is working properly. It’s just a dry run to get ready for Lampasas.”

The varsity format will feature 10 plays each by the first-team offenses and defenses, then 10 plays apiece from the second-team offenses and defenses. Two live quarters will follow.

Godley is coming off an 8-3 season, including a 2-1 district mark, and returns 20 of 35 lettermen – including six offensive and six defensive starters. Head coach Curtis Lowery’s squad is picked to finish second in District 5-4A Division II this season by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine, behind only Glen Rose.
