BRECKENRIDGE — Show me a team that is running a pre-district gauntlet and I’ll usually be able to show you a team that won 10 or more games in the previous year or went several rounds into the playoffs. 

Teams that fall into that category generally have a difficult time finding non-district opposition and they end up saddled with one powerhouse after another. 

That’s not the way it works in Breckenridge, Texas.  At Breck, a difficult schedule is more of a tradition than a side effect. You could almost view it as a rite of passage for football players at BHS and it has nothing to do with last season’s results — good, bad or ugly.
