The Burnet High School football team flashed much more than the seven touchdowns during its final scrimmage against Jarrell Aug. 19. Burnet scored in a variety of ways: short and long touchdown passes and short and long touchdown runs. Meanwhile, the Burnet defense yielded only two touchdowns, all in the live quarters, during the two-and-a-half hour affair. Head coach Bryan Wood noted his players displayed the chemistry and rapport coaches have highlighted throughout the last several months. Each Bulldog did his job and trusted his teammates to do theirs. That’s…

Soon after the results of the 2022 Class 4A state meet, where he finished second in the 1,600 meters May 12, Burnet High School runner Hudson Bennett left the University of Texas at Austin’s Mike Myers Stadium more determined than ever to cross off what’s left on his list of goals going into his senior year. Part of that was intensive training that turned into an extensive stay in Colorado during the middle of the summer of 2022. “I spent 35 days (there),” he said. “I was running the entire…

Discovery sums up what the Burnet High School football team experienced during its scrimmage against Lago Vista Aug. 12. “You see things you’re excited about and other things we got to work on,” defensive coordinator Ben Speer said. “The kids had great energy. They did a good job with that, and coaches helped them get there.” Lago Vista, which reached the Class 3A Division I semifinals after finishing as the District 13-3A runner-up, posed a good test for the Bulldogs, Speer said. “Lago Vista is big and physical,” he said.…

The end of the first week of training camp comes with a reward for the Burnet High School football team and its fans – an intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 6. Head coach Bryan Wood noted it was the first day of hitting for the Bulldogs. “We were very limited on how much live,” he said. “We want depth, but you don’t want to beat up on each other.” Wood was most interested in seeing the athletes movements in every play. Do they know their assignments? Are they moving naturally because they…

A new group of athletes emerged from the meeting room of the Burnet Consolidated Independent School District field house Aug. 4 determined to learn even more about the game of football from those who know it best – the Bulldog coaches and players themselves. The new group — more than 60 mothers of the current players — had visited Bulldog Field numerous times, but rarely did they understand some of the basic concepts of the sport such as the positions, what the players and coaches do at practices, and why…

The intensity and enthusiasm were contagious at Bulldog Field Tuesday, Aug. 2, the second day of fall training camp for the Burnet Bulldogs. The players and coaches accomplished plenty, which compelled head coach Bryan Wood to call an end to the session 15 minutes earlier than was originally planned, a reward to the players for their commitment to getting a lot of work done with the attitude, attention to detail and commitment Wood wanted to see. The Bulldogs had 64 players in grades 10-12 participate with another 45 freshmen who…

After the 2021 season concluded, Burnet High School head football coach Bryan Wood took stock and evaluated himself on what he can do better. Top of the list was to strengthen relationships with his players and their families. So he took what might be an unusual step for a high school coach. He offered to meet with his players’ families at their dwellings for home visits. “The comments I’ve gotten are that people are excited about them,” Wood said. “It helps our kids and the football team. I’ve had a…
