The last time these two teams met at Dragon Stadium was when Warriors quarterback David Farman led a last minute drive to stun Bowie, 38-34. The next yeat it was at Burger where Bowie’s Victor Ike scored 8 touchdowns, ran for 344 yards in leading Bowie in 56-35 whipping. This year it will be Bowie’s Alexis Cooper to do the highlighting film. He gained 132 yards last week against Round Rock. The defense last week lost on a bad call by the officials. The Dawgs are out to hunt down some Warrior meat tonight. Westwood’s defense last week couldn’t hold Vontez Duff of Copperas Cove. The Warriors offense managed 16 yards passing on one completion. Their main offensive threat is RB Will Matthews . Matthews gained 116 yards last week. QB Evan Wiatrek is expected to do better against Bowie than he did against the other Dawgs of Copperas Cove.

Zach Bailey and Maurice Carter both had runs over 70 plus. Matt Davis supposedly the Lions’ threat. Paul Thompson looked impressive in his first game at quarterback for Leander.

Records: Knights 1-0, Maroons 0-1

Records: Dragons 1-0, Yellowjackets 1-0
Against Common Opponents in 1998: None

Round Rock kept Alexis Cooper out of the end zone for the third year in a row but needs RBs Nic Noel and Amos Kieth to provide a running game that Buzzy Earl was supposed to fill. Cris Love had 114 yards passing and 1 TD against Bowie. The Yellowjackets have a high scoring offense and shouldn’t have any problems tonight against the Rock.

When/Where: 7:30 p.m. at New Braunfels
Records: Unicrons are 1-0,
Against Common Opponents in 1998: N/A
Preview: Uncorns have an explosive offense but a tender defense. QB Andy Schimd was impressive and looks like he can fill in the void of Murray Holden. Daniel Stange wasn’t much of a factor last week and if New Braunfels wants to have a successful season, they need him to run hard. Brackendrige brings in the threat of QB Maurice Jackson and his overworked WRs of Luke Fashaw and Lionel Peirece. Last year the Unicorns won 21-14.
HARLANDALE INDIANS at SEGUIN MATADORS
When/Where: 7:30 p.m. at Matador Stadium

Look for Vikings to control the ball with the running of Will Bullock.
