Bulldog Sports Zone: Coach Martin & Andy Penney Break Down the Showdown
This week’s episode is all about poise, play-calling, and purple pride.
On the latest Wylie Bulldog Sports Zone, host Andy Penney and Head Coach Clay Martin spend the half hour walking fans through the Southtown Showdown win over Abilene Cooper — drive by drive, adjustment by adjustment.
They start with the first-quarter spark (screens, a deep post, and a momentum-swinging punt return), then roll the tape on the second-quarter answers, including a seam shot to the tight end and a crafty two-point look. At halftime, Martin lets viewers in on the conversation: no panic, just cleaner execution. The back half of the show highlights the defensive clamp-down — open-field tackles, disciplined rush lanes, and a pivotal fumble recovery that flipped the night.
Penney also unveils the Abilene Glass & Mirror Player of the Game: Julius Lane, with Coach noting how the screen game and the big guys up front set the table. There’s love for the rotation on the defensive line, a nod to the QB’s late clock management, and even a light moment about road-trip snacks (yes, someone pack a Hershey bar).
Before signing off, the duo looks ahead to Friday at Amarillo Palo Duro — what the Dons do well, how Wylie plans to limit explosives, and why controlling the line of scrimmage travels.
