The 2025 season for the Seagoville Dragons was a story of resilience. After opening with three straight losses, including a 63-point shutout at the hands of John Tyler, the Dragons regrouped to win five of their final eight games, secured a playoff berth out of District 5-5A Division II, and finished the year 5-6 overall and 4-3 in district play.
Quarterback Kollin Williams and running back Kelveion Gates anchored an offense that showed flashes of explosiveness throughout the year, while a midseason surge carried Seagoville into the postseason for the first time in recent memory before a first-round exit in the bi-district round against Terrell.
Game 1: Saginaw Chisholm Trail 48, Seagoville 14
Seagoville opened the season on the road and fell behind early, dropping the nondistrict opener 48-14 to Saginaw Chisholm Trail.
Game 2: Seagoville 41, W.T. White 16
Seagoville’s offense came alive at Loos Stadium, with Kollin Williams accounting for three touchdowns, two on the ground and one through the air, while Kelveion Gates punched in two scores of his own in a nondistrict win over W.T. White.
The Dragons set the tone on their opening possession, with Williams connecting on a 12-yard scoring strike to James Roberts. A stuffed fourth-down attempt gave the ball right back to Seagoville, and Williams made the Wildcats pay, breaking off an 82-yard drive that he finished himself with a 10-yard touchdown run.
W.T. White briefly pulled even at 14 when quarterback Andrew Paredez found Lovell Neal for a 58-yard touchdown late in the first half. Seagoville needed just one possession to answer, marching 53 yards before Gates dove in from a yard out to put the Dragons back on top, 21-14, heading into the locker room.
Williams finished the night with 203 yards rushing and 80 yards passing, and Seagoville pulled away in the second half with three more touchdowns, capped by another Williams scoring run from 9 yards out.
Game 3: John Tyler 63, Seagoville 0
The Dragons were overwhelmed on the road, falling 63-0 to John Tyler in a lopsided nondistrict matchup.
Game 4: Woodrow Wilson 34, Seagoville 24
Woodrow Wilson’s ground game proved too much in the district opener, as Ethan Ramirez and Calvin Bowens combined to wear down the Dragons defense in a 34-24 Wildcat win. Ramirez carried the ball 21 times for 144 yards and two touchdowns, and Bowens added 98 yards and a score of his own. Quarterback Ernesto Bernard chipped in two touchdown throws to Luke Walsh through the air.
Seagoville still found ways to move the football, with Kollin Williams piling up 233 total yards and a touchdown and Kelveion Gates rushing for 109 yards and three scores. The loss dropped Seagoville to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in district play ahead of a home matchup with Samuell, while Woodrow Wilson improved to 1-3 overall and 1-0 in district heading into a road trip to face Thomas Jefferson.

South Oak Cliff’s defense set the tone at Sprague Stadium, forcing four turnovers, including a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown by junior defensive back Isaiah Udom, in a 48-0 shutout of Seagoville. SOC quarterback Jayden Williams was equally effective on the other side of the ball, throwing for 149 yards and four touchdowns to push the Golden Bears to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in district.
South Oak Cliff’s 41-0 halftime lead triggered eight-minute quarters and a running clock for the second half. Seagoville managed just 21 total yards of offense and three first downs on the night, falling to 3-5 overall and 2-3 in district play.
