BROWNWOOD — Clay Martin’s debut as Wylie’s head football coach couldn’t have gone much better than it did against Brownwood on Friday.
The longtime leader of the Wylie defense under former coach Hugh Sandifer got to watch a dominating performance on that side of the football and, most importantly, got to leave Gordon Wood Stadium with a 28-7 victory in the Bulldogs’ 2020 season opener.
The WHS defense forced five turnovers while limiting the home-standing Lions to 188 yards and no offensive points. And the offense overcame a slow start to control the game and clock as the team pulled away in the second half.
