BELLVILLE — Bellville head football coach and athletic director Grady Rowe is not only the all-time winningest head coach in program history, he recently brought his team to Jerry World at Cowboy Stadium to face off in the UIL State Football Championship after an undefeated regular season. Rowe has sent a ton of players to division one football such as Richard Reese, Robert Briggs, and currently has fourstar 2025 prospect D.J. Sanders on his team as a lineman, who has 18 total division one offers with the majority of them being power five schools.

“It is a big honor,” said Rowe on being the all-time winningest coach at Bellville. "It is definitely not a Grady Rowe thing though. I have been blessed to speak at many clinics on our culture, our offense, our defense, and The Bellville way. Bellville, America is a special place. They are very supportive and allow us to coach our kids hard and hold them accountable. Old school values are important here.”

The Brahmas went down in the state championship game, but it was a game that was decided on the last play against a highly skilled Gilmer team. “2023 was a special season,” Rowe continued. “I have to remind myself of that and I have to take a deep breath and think about the overall accomplishment and what it means to our kids, school, and community. It took me 28 years to make it and to be able to do it with my son on staff, it was special. It really was a great experience and I am glad we were able to give that opportunity to our school- the team, cheerleaders, band, Brah- madoras, flag runners, etc. There is not a better place to play than AT&T Stadium.”

Rowe looks to build off a historic season and with the most wins in school history, Rowe is only going to continue to win with superior talent and a football program that breeds athletes, hard work, great coaching, and success.
