The Wylie defense opened 2025 in midseason form Friday, limiting the Brownwood to just 72 yards of total offense in a resounding 25-0 victory at Hugh Sandifer Stadium.

Taking advantage of a Lions offense breaking in a new I-formation-based scheme under first-year coach Jeryl Brixey, the Bulldogs recorded five sacks and 10 tackles for loss while forcing a pair of turnovers in the shutout.

The Wylie offense, meanwhile, did just enough against a game BHS defense to keep the Lions at arm’s length throughout the night, scoring a touchdown in each of the final two quarters to put the game away after taking an 11-0 lead into halftime.
