Battle of South Mopac: Bowie vs Austin High

This week my Central Texas High School Football Tour takes me to House Park for a District 14-6A showdown between Austin ISD rivals the Bowie Bulldogs and the Austin High Maroons.

Bowie comes into this game at 4-0 overall and 2-0 in district play with convincing wins over Kyle-Lehman and Austin Anderson. A win Friday for the Bulldogs would set up a showdown of unbeaten teams next Friday night when they host rival and state powerhouse Westlake at Burger Stadium.

Austin High, meanwhile, comes into this game at 2-1 overall and 0-1 in district play having been on the wrong end of a 56-12 drubbing at the hands of Westlake last week. For the Maroons, Friday night offers them a chance not only to earn their first district win at the expense of their rivals but also a chance to do it on Homecoming.

Last season's game saw Bowie edge out Austin High 42-37. Given what's at stake for both teams this year, the Bulldogs cannot afford to look past the Maroons on Friday night.

For those interested in attending the game, the address for House Park is listed below:
