Grapeland Sandies traveled to Bullard on Friday for their second scrimmage against the Brook Hill Guard after a productive outing last week with Cushing.

Grapeland opens the season Aug. 26 on the road against Frankston and then closes out non-district play with three straight home games against county rival Lovelady on Sept. 2, Bremond on Sept. 9 and Groveton on Sept. 16.

The Sandies travel to Timpson on Sept. 23 for their District 11-2A DI opener.
