The La Grange Leopards traveled to Smithville to take on the Smithville Tigers for their district opener on Friday, October 13. The Leopards scored on their first four possessions with the first score coming off of the third play of the opening drive.  Gunn scrambled 53 yards for the Leps' first score, and the PAT was good making it 7-0.  However, the Tigers would answer back in quick fashion, but their PAT failed making the score 7-6.  Their quick response was a little unexpected leaving a 'scary' feeling for Leopard fans on this Friday the 13th.

Throughout the night, the offensive line would provide many offensive opportunities for La Grange. In addition, the Leopard defense would hold the Tigers hampering their scoring. The game stayed close for a short while, but the Leopards would take control and ease into halftime with a commanding 39-12 lead.

The second half would see LG tack on one more touchdown and pat making the final score 46-12.  Several players were able to play during the second half which will be beneficial down the road.  Those athletes who had to step up responded well.

On Friday, October 20, 2000, the Leopards traveled to Hallettsville to take on the Brahmas for the second district game.  The Leopard offense moved the ball and scored on Hallettsville easily throughout the entire night.  Excellent blocking from the offensive line and the backfield contributed greatly to the offense's success of 511 yards.  The Leps scored on every possession except their final one when they took a knee at the Brahma 5. 

The Leopards racked up 25 first downs and never had to punt.  The defense adjusted early after allowing only two scores.  The first quarter initially had the feel of an offensive battle with three touchdowns being scored in the first 11 plays.  The Leps scored on their opening drive with a 27-yard run.  The Brahmas would answer back with a score of their own, but the Leopards would respond immediately again.  The Leps lead 35-14 at the half.

The second half would see La Grange score on a 37-yard run on the first possession.  LG would then recover two fumbles converting them into scores with one resulting in a 70-yard return run.  The Hallettsville quarterback would be sacked three times throughout the night.  Final score:  LG 59 Hallettsville 14.

La Grange is gearing up for what should be a tough battle with the Bellville Brahmas on Friday, October 27, at Leopard Stadium. 

La Grange hosted the Bellville Brahmas on Friday, October 27 for their third district match up.  The Brahmas would win the toss and chose to receive.  On their first possession, they drove down to the Leps' 32; but they could not convert a fourth down turning the ball over to the Leopards.  The Leopards' first play from scrimmage would result in a touchdown, and the only La Grange play during the first quarter.  Gunn would run 64 yards to score.  Seifert's kick was good, making it 7-0.

The Leopard defense would contain the Bulls on their next possession forcing them to punt; however a roughing the kicker penalty would be assessed on the Leps giving Bellville another try which would ultimately result in a 15-play, 75-yard touchdown drive.  Their PAT was good making the score 7-7.  

The two teams would trade possession throughout the second quarter, but La Grange would add two more touchdowns resulting in a 21-7 halftime score.

Thirty-three points would be scored during the third quarter -- La Grange 20 and Bellville 13, leaving the score 41-20 at the end of the third quarter.  Melnar recovered a fumble for the Leps at the Brahma 13 on the kickoff.  Gunn would score on the next play with Seifert's kick good.  Bellville would respond by scoring as well.  Then the Brahmas recovered their onside kick, but it did not travel the ten required yards leaving the Leps with good field position.  Defense would score the final touchdown for the Leps when Muzny returned a fumble.  Final score:  La Grange 48, Bellville 20.

La Grange hosted the Hempstead Bobcats on Friday, November 10, 2000, and the number one defense in the district was blasted by the Leopards. Going into the game, the Bobcats had allowed only 67 points in district play.  However, when it was all said and done, the Leopards had scored 49 points.

The Bobcats did come out ready to play, though, and stopped LG on their first two possessions.  In addition, the Cats scored on their first drive taking the lead 7-0.
