Under the lights of Friday night, there will be a battle in Austin. A battle of undefeated teams-Westlake vs Austin Bowie.
Austin Bowie Bulldogs
Bowie is 5-0 on the season, scoring 38 points per game on offense. But they are dominant on defense. They have allowed their opponents to score a mere 9 points per contest.
They are somewhat balanced on offense, tilting the scales a little more on the run side, but not by much. The Bulldogs have passed for 982 yards and 10 touchdowns while rushing for 1082 yards and 15 touchdowns.
QB Conner Kenyon runs the offense. He has passed for 880 yards and nine touchdowns, with 2 INTs.
RB Noah Camacho has rushed for 568 yards and 5 touchdowns, and WR Cash Peters has caught 23 passes for 376 yards and 3 touchdowns.
That dominant defense has produced 359 tackles, 22.5 sacks, 4 INTs, 5 fumble recoveries, and 8 forced fumbles. You can’t single out just one player, the entire unit stands out.
