The Wimberley Texans (0-2) will face off against the Somerset Bulldogs (2-1) and their high-flying offense in the third game of the season. 
The Bulldogs have averaged 35 points a game through their first three this season with much of that coming from the arm of Koy Detmer Jr. Football fans may recognize the name as Detmer’s father, who is the offensive coordinator, was an NFL quarterback for 10 years with the Philadelphia Eagles. Detmer’s uncle is Ty Detmer, was a Heisman winning quarterback for BYU and played 12 years in the NFL himself.

The Wimberley Texans came up short in their season opener on Friday when they hosted the La Vernia Bears in the third meeting between these two teams in the last calendar year. 
“First off that’s a dang good football team over there,” said Head Coach Doug Warren, “And we knew that coming in. They won 12 ball games [last season] and they had everybody back. So we knew what we were up against.” 
The Texan offense struggled mightily in the first half amassing just 79 total yards and only one first down.

The Texans struggled right out of the gate and were not able to overcome their slow start. Despite the improvements the team made in the second half, the Texans were unable to put the ball in the endzone for the length of the contest.
