THE RECAP: Bowie vs. Austin High Football

The Bowie Bulldogs hosted the Austin High Maroons this past Friday night at Burger Stadium, in what would become an instant classic.

After falling behind 14-3 early in the game, the Maroons rallied to a 17-14 halftime score.

The second half was a back-and-forth affair, and despite the heroics of Bowie’s breakout sophomore WR Rowen Wells, an Austin High touchdown pass from senior QB Wilder Davenport to Christian Rector (Sr. WR) with 3 seconds left in the game gave the Maroons their first victory of the season, by the score of 31-27.

The Maroons (1-4 overall, 1-2 in district) will look to build on this victory as they prepare to face off against Buda Johnson on Thursday (10/5).

Bowie (2-4 overall, 2-2 in district) is idle this week on a bye, but will get back to action in against district 26-6A opponent Buda Johnson, next Thursday.
