When Bryson traveled to Crowell on Oct. 4, the Cowboys knew it would not be an easy game. The Cowboys entered the game as 45 point underdogs and Wildcats were celebrating homecoming. However, the visiting Cowboys overcame their own mistakes to upset the Wildcats 54-48.
The Graham Steers fell to 2-3 on the season after losing to Springtown 44-7. After the open week, the Steers will begin disctrict play on Oct. 11 at Iowa Park. Last year, the Steers were 5-0 in district play.
Anyone expecting an easy game for homecoming will be disappointed when Springtown visits the Steers on Sept. 27. The defensive line will face a tough test as the Porcupines will be led by running back Cameron Rickett. The senior running back is only listed at 5-8, but weighs 205 pounds and will not be easy to take down. He can break free for big runs and has runs for 45 and 85 yards this season.

Supporters of the Graham Steers football team know family is a word which gets used a lot when describing the group. It is the word the team breaks down with after every practice and game.

During their week two matchup against Mineral Wells, the Steers spread the ball around while the defense held the Rams scoreless to win 56-0 in the home opener.There were questions when the season opened as to how the offense would run without Chase Gilmore. Head coach Kenny Davidson provided answers as five players found the end zone on offense.
The 2017 fall tennis season was supposed to be a good one for then-sophomore Aimee McShan. She had worked her way up to the No. 2 singles spot for the Lady Blues and was primed to have a breakout season. “She was looking really good in practices and had worked her way up,” said tennis coach Matt Birdwell.
Then it all came undone.
