Bowie is ahead of Westlake in the District 26-6A standings.
Not really, because those teams don’t begin district play until the last weekend in September. But if you’re a Bowie Bulldog fan, it has to be nice to see the Dawgs listed above the Chaps, even if it’s unofficial and even if they’ve only played non-district games to-date.
That’s the case right now as Bowie pulled away from a stubborn Glenn squad 42-21 last Thursday night (9/12) at Burger Stadium to improve to 3-0 in non-district action – tied with Lake Travis – while Westlake fell to Atascocita to drop to 2-1.
Take a screenshot.
The 5A Grizzlies (2-1) hung tough against a probable 6A playoff team in the Bulldogs. Glenn took the lead 14-13 midway through the second quarter and expanded that lead to 21-13 at the half. Eventually, however, Bowie wore down their guests. The Dawgs took a 28-21 lead into the fourth quarter with their defense pitching a second half shutout to earn the win.
Senior running back Kayson Mathabela (26-107, 4 TDs) reached the end zone four times for Bowie while senior quarterback Cruz Tello went 16-23 for 249 yards and two touchdowns through the air and rushed for another 95 yards and a score to pace the Bulldogs offense.
Bowie hosts Converse Judson for their final non-district contest of the season in Friday night’s VYPE/ESPN Austin radio Central Texas Game of the Week on 102.7 FM.
