** Arlington Bowie Thread**

[E-Vol-ution]

Decided to keep updates and news regarding Arlington Bowie in it's own thread to keep up with things........

Lastest news is Senior DT Diamonte Wheeler 6'3", 275 got an offer from Baylor to go along with offers from Iowa State, Minnesota, Texas Tech and Arkansas. Expect more......the kid has options.

[pied]

There is a Bowie thread and no Lamar thread. I want to hurt myself.....

[pied]

FYI-my above post has nothing to do with Bowie or the accomplishments of Diamonte who deserves congratulations.

[E-Vol-ution]

Yep....no fun when the rabbit's got a gun. lol

<!-- & /shared/widgets/text_digger.comp & -->ARLINGTON — If 7-year-old Devin Perry had any say, the tooth fairy’s frequent visits to his home were going to have to wait at least until the end of Arlington Bowie’s free football camp.

While there were no contact drills at the two-day session that concluded Thursday at the school’s practice field, Perry wasn’t taking any chances. He sported a mouthpiece for good measure to protect his few permanent teeth already in place.
Most of the other 300 second- through ninth-graders threw caution to the wind at their chance to rub elbows with some of the current Volunteers. Some came dressed in usual football garb complete with a practice jersey and newly acquired cleats. Others slapped on a backward baseball cap and hit the ground running.
Bowie head coach Kenny Perry, no relation to Devin, may have had the most energy of anyone. If he wasn’t trying to solve the field’s immense ant problem, Perry was squirting the second-graders with water or joking that he’d buy them a new car if they could throw the ball farther than Bowie quarterback Deric Davis, who seemingly chunked a ball to Grand Prairie with one flick of the wrist on Perry’s request.
"Anybody that beats that gets a new car," Perry joked. "An Escalade with 33-inch rims and a hot tub in the back."
It was all fun under the sun for these future Volunteers, which is exactly the way Perry wanted it to be.
"Texas high school football has obviously given me a lot in my life and I think a lot of our coaches remember times when they were kids growing up going to football camps," said Perry, who has put on this free clinic since his arrival at Bowie in 2006.
"I think in today’s times, with the economy and people struggling, we aren’t in this to make money. We are in it for the kids. We have a free camp. I’ve always been about that, just to try to get kids out and to give parents an avenue to get kids to release a little steam in the summer. We always do it right before football season and it’s been good for us."
The cupboard has never been bare of talent around Bowie, where chiseled frames and daunting speed are as common in the athletic department as No. 2 pencils are on test day.
But that hasn’t always transferred to success on the football field, where varsity competition started in 1992. In fact, Bowie hadn’t experienced a winning season until three years ago, when Perry led the Volunteers to a 7-4 record and their first playoff berth in his first season.
That success has continued at every level. After going 12-2 two seasons ago and losing to Euless Trinity in the playoffs, Bowie went 11-2 and to the third round of the playoffs last year. The sophomore and junior varsity teams combined for an 18-2 record last season and its junior varsity squad placed second at this summer’s Texas State 7-on-7 Tournament.
"We won the district championship at every level," Perry said. "When I first came over here, my first concern was getting southeast Arlington behind Bowie football, and I think, for the most part, we have done that.
"We have a great community that is very supportive of our school. We want to give back to people of the community."
A quick look at some of the younger participants would lead one to believe that the talent will only continue to pour in. Take for example 13-year-old Chris Thigpen, who checks in at 6-3, 250 pounds.

There was a football workout for incoming players July 27, 29 and 31..........and there are a lot of new kids. This new surge is continally throwing everyone off guard. Last year over 130 kids were suited up for freshman. This year's crowd surpasses that figure. I'm about 6'1" and 180lbs......... there were plenty of kids as tall and a good amount of "Hawgs" out there too. It's just getting better.

That's what a 'program' and coach can do for a team, happy for ya'.

[E-Vol-ution]

Very true....but what throws me is the high percentage of kids who actually finish the deal, as in don't quit after some laps, hits and mental trysts.
I expected a higher rate of attrition.

[jc84chill]

We got to meet Quentin Sargeant's dad, as well as Deric Davis' parents in College Station. We all ended up chatting for a good 15-20 mins about the team, players, etc. Good stuff.

[E-Vol-ution]

I'm talking about last year......suiting up 130 freshmen was surprising.
That's the only basis I have to go on.......this year? Why not expect a lot of the same. This group had coaches with three years experience in Coach P's system.

I got my Midlothian Panther season tkts today.

The end of an era for me...... attending Bowie games will be a once or twice a year treat.

Gotta be loyal to the kids' future school. They teach the kids here from elementary that they are all PANTHERS. Below are the Midlothian games I will be attending (that are in our area - I'm not driving to San Antonio (Boerne), Cleburne, or Waco Midway for games).

Fri., Aug 21 Denton Guyer MISD Stadium 7:00
Fri., Sept 11 Mineral Wells MISD Stadium 7:30
Fri., Sept 25 Waxahachie There 7:30
Fri., Oct 9 Corsicana There 7:30
Fri., Oct 16 Midway MISD Stadium 7:30
Fri., Oct 30 Ennis There 7:30
Fri., Nov 6 Waco High MISD Stadium 7:30
Playoffs IF Midlothian makes it - seems unlikely.

So I will try and make the following Bowie games. The Thursday game (11/5) makes it possible for me to be at 1 more game:

9/3 7:00pm South Garland UTA
9/18 7:30pm OD Wyatt ** UTA
10/23 7:30pm Arlington UTA
11/5 7:00pm Summit UTA
Playoffs (Bowie should make it)

E-volution -- Let's meet up at one of these games. I will bring some old Bowie football relics if your interested -- including some classic Jeff Kemp pictures I acquired from an old Bowie grad (81).

Tonight was almost as big a tease as when I slow danced with Janet Jackson.
Our sub-varsity games with Trinity were cancelled due to the storm.
I got to see about four plays in the 3rd Qtr freshman game we were behind 14-0. My brother just got to pay his way in and get past the concession stand before a guy came out and announced all games were cancelled. His money had to still be warm.
What a bummer.........

[E-Vol-ution]

Decent game last night.....35-17 over Dallas Lincoln but it's like we fell asleep in the second quarter. Coach Perry will take care of that.

[Prep Ticket]

Agreed. We were at the first half of this game and the Vols were very sloppy. A couple of ugly turnovers and waaaaaaaaaay too many penalties. But, it's the first game of the year and they will get better but Perry's hat spent more time on the field (after throwing it in disgust) than it did on his head. I would not want to be one of his players this week.

Still, it says a lot when you don't play anywhere near your potential and still beat a pretty good 4A team by 21.

[E-Vol-ution]

It will be a very tough week of practice...........Coach P will not let those penalties fly...........
One beautiful thing about the game was Valadez kicking that 48yd field goal. Run game was better than expected by so many guys.Agreed.

Bet we won't get 5 penalties the whole night much less 9 in the first half like last week.

[E-Vol-ution]

Weather forecasts are calling for scattered thunderstorms and showers......this is totally unacceptable.:(

We better shore up on defense......next up is Skyline at their house.

I would not support Wylie if it would save me from certain death.

[E-Vol-ution]

Bowie's JV "B" team beat Irving Nimtz JV "B" (hopefully it wasn't "A") last night 42-0 with three tds called back. This was about as bad a home job as I have ever seen by referees. It's bad on the kids when the stripes take away from them. All it did was make our kids play harder and take it out on their kids more. Glad those kids kept getting back up and weren't hurt badly.

[E-Vol-ution]

Wow......might be headed for a bunch of DNP's due to the weather.
All sub-varsity games were cancelled against Skyline.:(

[slcdragonfan]

Evol, I guess everyone has gotten crusty and tense before this Friday game. Appreciate your positive comments in the past regarding the Dragons. Probably need a tailgate get-together to get everyone to relax.

I hope they do well (except against us). Thought they'd do better against Carter last week.

It's too bad we can't keep from having Bowie have to play Martin. The elitists on Arlington's west side are an unbearably rude lot. Rude enough after a defeat. Even worse if they happen to win.

Quoting a cherleader made and sponsor approved sign from the Bowie/Martin 2000 game --- 'Hey Bowie - Can you Spell Exemplary?'.

[E-Vol-ution]

Jeesh......rather deal with that than us having to circle the players on the field and escorting them to the bus.

[E-Vol-ution]

PM status.........on the field or in the stands?

[E-Vol-ution]

Hate the Martin game had to come down to a really good foot (Valadez).
This team has to recognize they can't just turn on the gas when they want. Should have learned that from the Skyline game.
Like Coach P said, it's good seeing these seniors learn to win from being a 3-7 freshman team. Make no mistake, they are the leaders, but the juniors and sophomores only know winning.........and they have that attitude.
Martin has more tricks than the average bear...and they are a tough team.
It sure will be a nice sign when we play a whole game with no naps in between...........it's not easy being a target. Makes you appreciate the programs who do it on a consistent basis more.

[E-Vol-ution]

Pretty cool......get a bye and become sole leader in district. I like how that works.:)

[E-Vol-ution]

Bowie football is looking pretty good..........that Douglas kid is a tough one who will get in the end zone sooner or later.
Thank goodness our run game is about up to Coach P's specs....and the sophomore bust a 69 yd td right after Douglas got a 51 yarder to quell any momentum.
Looking forward to the Arlington game this week. We really care more about the win to solidify the lead in district than having the longest win streak in Arlington history........but it's a very decent milestone.

[slcdragonfan]

Good win. Now very interested in how Bowie does in the next game....

[E-Vol-ution]

Yep.....time for the Colts. Good win. Now very interested in how Bowie does in the next game....

[chhspantherfan]

Yep.....time for the Colts.

2-Minute Drill: Can Arlington Bowie’s defense stop Arlington High’s offense?Posted Monday, Oct. 19, 2009
By CARLOS MENDEZ

cmendez@star-telegram.com

The finish line to the season is approaching quickly, and while four teams make the playoffs, a district championship is in sight for some. Arlington Bowie and Arlington High could be playing for one this week.

The Volunteers and Colts meet Friday night at UT-Arlington in a game that will pit Arlington’s big offense against Bowie’s maturing defense.

Other teams are getting up to speed quickly. Cleburne has made itself a contender in 16-4A. Keller and L.D. Bell meet Thursday night to sort things out in 5-5A. Burleson got itself back on track in 3-5A.

Those are some of the storylines as we take a look at some of the notes and trends in the area:

Bowie’s big test

Arlington Bowie has been working on its defense all season. It’s time to see how far that effort has gone.

The Volunteers meet Arlington High and quarterback Matt Joeckel this week. Arlington High and Matt Joeckel, who have put up 60-plus points each of the last two games. Arlington High and Matt Joeckel, who has seven receivers he can count on.

Bowie coach Kenny Perry doesn’t have to be briefed.

"They’re a good offense," he said. "We’ve played some good offenses. [Dallas] Skyline was good. [Arlington] Martin was good. They’re all kind of different. But Arlington does as good a job as anybody running the spread. Joeckel puts the ball wherever he wants. They’ve got a system, and it’s working."

Now it’s up to Bowie to prove to itself it is ready to be considered an elite contender. Only Southlake Carroll back in Week 1 has really put the clamps on Joeckel, holding him and the Colts scoreless until the fourth quarter. Even in a loss to Arlington Martin, Joeckel threw three touchdown passes.

"We’re not going to change what we do," Perry said. "We’re going to line up, try to pressure the quarterback, play man defense."

[E-Vol-ution]

Pretty good article........I expect two things: This will be a take notice game for sophomore RB Russell Hansborough and he will be District 4-5A Newcomer of the Year.

2-Minute Drill: Can Arlington Bowie’s defense stop Arlington High’s offense?Posted Monday, Oct. 19, 2009
By CARLOS MENDEZ

cmendez@star-telegram.com

The finish line to the season is approaching quickly, and while four teams make the playoffs, a district championship is in sight for some. Arlington Bowie and Arlington High could be playing for one this week.

The Volunteers and Colts meet Friday night at UT-Arlington in a game that will pit Arlington’s big offense against Bowie’s maturing defense.

Other teams are getting up to speed quickly. Cleburne has made itself a contender in 16-4A. Keller and L.D. Bell meet Thursday night to sort things out in 5-5A. Burleson got itself back on track in 3-5A.

Those are some of the storylines as we take a look at some of the notes and trends in the area:

Bowie’s big test

Arlington Bowie has been working on its defense all season. It’s time to see how far that effort has gone.

The Volunteers meet Arlington High and quarterback Matt Joeckel this week. Arlington High and Matt Joeckel, who have put up 60-plus points each of the last two games. Arlington High and Matt Joeckel, who has seven receivers he can count on.

Bowie coach Kenny Perry doesn’t have to be briefed.

"They’re a good offense," he said. "We’ve played some good offenses. [Dallas] Skyline was good. [Arlington] Martin was good. They’re all kind of different. But Arlington does as good a job as anybody running the spread. Joeckel puts the ball wherever he wants. They’ve got a system, and it’s working."

Now it’s up to Bowie to prove to itself it is ready to be considered an elite contender. Only Southlake Carroll back in Week 1 has really put the clamps on Joeckel, holding him and the Colts scoreless until the fourth quarter. Even in a loss to Arlington Martin, Joeckel threw three touchdown passes.

"We’re not going to change what we do," Perry said. "We’re going to line up, try to pressure the quarterback, play man defense."

[E-Vol-ution]

I hate it when JV "B" games get cancelled because somebody can't field a team............and it's bittersweet when the "A" team loses a close one because the main guys are moved up to varsity at moment's notice.
Just sayin................

[E-Vol-ution]

Coach Perry takes this one on the jaw in one major way..........
the strategy to play man played out too long. The guys we have are not a good match up for big athletic recievers, we looked like lost midgets (sorry to slight people vertically challenged).
Arlington controlled the LOS and we didn't adjust our packages accordingly.
I truly believe defense wins championships in this day and age.............ours is lacking.
I love our team......but last night was boo-boo.
Can't win a shootout with everybody.
It looked like classic role reversal last night.

What happened, not trying to start anything, I just thought you guys would win and I love a Peach Jr. loss.

[E-Vol-ution]

I gave an analysis from my view of the game on the main thread.
The defensive strategy either sucked or we just could not stop them. I think it was both.........
We'd better get it together quick. Post season is too close for this type performance.
Maybe Arlington just played their perfect game. It sure looked that way.
I think Coach Perry thought we could beat them in a shootout.
You just can't let Joeckel sit back comfortable in the pocket. He will destry you.

Congrats to Arl. Bowie on a great win, now its on to the second round, E-Vol-ution i know your proud! :notworthy

[E-Vol-ution]

Good signs....a couple of bad ones......from 28-2 just 18 secs before the half. Coach P called a timeout.
That changed the momentum for a while.
Better let these kids roll when they are on one........Congrats to Arl. Bowie on a great win, now its on to the second round, E-Vol-ution i know your proud! :notworthy

[E-Vol-ution]

Hard to say......I saw a lot of good things, and a couple of things I hope were temporary lapses in judgement or focus.
How much of that had to do with the venue is one of the biggest questions.

My apologies to the Vols fans and this thread for not stopping by sooner. Just wanted to post a serious congrats to everyone associated with your school and your program on the domination of the Dragons. You guys have been one of the teams I pull for since Perry arrived. I knew you'd come prepped and ready to play. I also knew y'all we're red hot coming in. I had no idea you'd burn us like you did. Wow! Great performance. You'll have my support for the duration. Shock em all and take state!

I did get a cull buck, ate some that night still plenty of season left to get a big buck, unfortunately because of you guys I will have more time to hunt. It was great being away with the boys though. It was killing me, no internet no cell service but I crawled up a hill Saturday night and called to get the score and was in shock. I was looking forward to going to see my Dragons this weekend.

[E-Vol-ution]

Very classy of you.......and a very lofty goal too.:)Let's get the part down of advancing against Abilene. Can't look past those guys.
Never thought that game was over until the interception. That kid Avers is a heart attack. And your band drew a standing ovation from us. They jammed.

The road ahead is a daunting one but one that can be navigated. Even in your playoff exits under Perry you guys have made the opponent absolutely earn it. If the Vols bow out they will not go quietly, that we know. I'm excited for you and all of yours. I think you'll shock this board and win against Abilene. We'll talk more after that.

sorry guys. we know all about let downs. It's hard to play at that level 2 weeks in a row, and the Eagles are for real and healthy. I'm sure you will be even better next year with all that talent. Good luck

Sorry for the loss this evening Vol fans. Keep your heads up, nothing to be ashamed of at all. Congrats on a very good season.

Congratulations to our seniors, coaches and team.
No one expected us to get this far except us for the most part and yes we could have done better.
Keep your heads up.......pursue excellence in life (it's the bigger and more important battle), and remember; a loser is the guy who never gets out of bed in the first place.
Underclassmen.....remember the taste in your mouths. Work hard and focus .................we'll be just fine.
Kudos to those boosters who do thankless work behind the scenes........
Bowie football is something a lot of people know about now, and we aren't done giving or taking lessons.
To the coaches........our kids are in great hands, your effort is appreciated.

Great season, Vols! Keep your heads up.

Just wanted to offer my congrats to the Bowie Vols for an outstanding season.
Y'all have an excellent, class, top-notch program from the coaches and players to the fanbase in the stands and on this board. Bowie football is definitely making its mark on the state and I am sure people statewide are giving y'all the respect you fully deserve.
The Vols played a hard fought game for 4 full qtrs last night and while i know y'all are disappointed right now I also know that once that knot in your gut fades a little you will be mighty proud of all your boys have accomplished this year.
Here's hoping for a rematch next year at Shotwell in Abilene!

Outstanding player! This a big sign of respect for the program, too. Congrats, Vols.:notworthy

[E-Vol-ution]

good story, I wish him the best. One thing for sure, he understands how short life can be and perhaps also understands that you must make the most of it.

I still remember him pacing the sidelines as a freshman in a first game match-up against Trinity yelling on the sidelines "if ya scurred don't go out there"!

He's a big part of the comraderie and looseness of this team...........

[E-Vol-ution]

Pads on today...............
Coach Perry made one particular move I didn't think would happen until perhaps a couple of games into the season.
I really like the progress taking place........
The X factor is in place.:notworthy
(I will hold my peace/piece on this one..........but no reps with the 1's at scrimmage?)

[E-Vol-ution]

Bowie looked good doing a lot of things against CHILL.
We also have some work to do.........
The DL stood out. Secondary had it's moments and of course one huge breakdown with some minor stuff along the way.
OL protected pretty decently but need to stick to their blocks longer between the tackles on run plays.
A couple of side screens looked like tap dance sessions out there.
A few times initially with the second team I kind of wondered why not put a piece of steak around Kolby's neck and let him run naked through the ASPCA holding pen, but they came back on and protected long enough on a few nice completions.
We were the better team out there today........and the overall performance was good but enough mistakes were made to let those boys run a few sprints. lol
Kicking game was better than I expected. (Dude needs better footwork but for a newbie you could see him gaining confidence and feeling it later). It will speak volumes if he continues putting kickoffs in the end zone, but
more importantly getting three step punts off.........FG leg is definitely there.
No time to think anybody has arrived after a scrimmage, but Coach P kept his hat on.
I like this team..................

[E-Vol-ution]

Trinity's freshmen (Euless Jr. High) and JV go against Bowie's kids today!

If I'm not at Pennington I'll be at Bowie HS.............:D

[E-Vol-ution]

All I have is freshmen scores............
Bowie B Team over Euless Jr High B 12-6
Bowie A Team over Euless Jr. High A 34-26

Very good games............A lot of talent out there.

Waiting on the jv scores............anybody?

[E-Vol-ution]

Enough mistakes to fill all the potholes in Arlington.
Enough good things shown to want to correct the mistakes and be the best Bowie team yet.
Execution can change a lot of this.

[E-Vol-ution]

"release the kracken!"


bbaw!

[E-Vol-ution]

OVERRATED? PREDICTABLE?
This includes the coaches against Desoto.
We looked worse than the Arlington game as far as looking clueless and unprepared. I'd rather put guys on the field who will play than guys who look afraid or tentative.
Paschal has more fight than us!
I'm proud of the few guys who left something on the field.......also hope one DL(hint.....Big Mike) proved he's ready for playing full time or getting in the rotation.
Delenzi showed guts too, it's hard when you're getting a handoff with three guys in the backfield already in front of you. (Seems they knew we would not pass first)
Kolby? How about some mixing up our looks.......?
Put him on the freaking field sometimes....especially if the window is tiny and they dare our QB to run.
The state knows about Russell.
This is no longer JV football, send them back for reps if you have to.(yep, I say this to the coaches)
How in the world can our fast DB's continually let players get behind them?
Special teams? (still looking)
Last thought? The heck with incumbents......play the guys that will lay the first lick be it offense or defense.
Grade? "F"

* on to next week......... RUN!

Alert!
System failure in progress!
This is not Bowie football.
1) We are not clean and crisp in execution
2) We are not aggressive or proactive
3) We look hesitant and conservative
4) Looks like we are playing afraid to lose
5) One inch line means an off count or no count QB sneak to me.
6) Kolby drives the team downfield and momentum is killed by subbing
him out, even if it's one play.
7) Predictable and telegraph..........enough said without bringing up names.

I'd much rather lose swinging..............

If all of the above can only be worked out by Russell playing, then we "ain't" coaching!

Only thing I can tell ya' is a lot of the other teams around the state look like they are not quite ready for prime time either. It's been pre-District so they don't count so the good news is there is time to put it together.

Let the horses do what they do.

[E-Vol-ution]

Bowie football has been going through a transformation that has been frustrating at times up to this point in time.
A very efficient passing attack has taken Bowie 4-3-4 over the past three years and everybody is very used to getting at least that far and ticked when the season ends.
This group can give Bowie what has stopped it in the past.....an effective running game when it's most important; in post season where the elements play a definitive role in who moves forward.
There's a curve in changing from a primarily passing team to a running team and it looks even uglier when your number one RB is out.
The early stages were unacceptable due to fundamental errors.........which have improved as of the last game.
I think this team has a lot more to show the state, but we had to take our lumps in the process.

Last night was a game of peaks and valleys.
Excellent work in pulling out the last second victory last night.
We can not however continue on a path of being the Cardiac kids.

Kolby Listenbee is pure and simple the x factor.
Let him keep putting it downfield, his arm was good last night.
An aggressive offense is our best friend but that "matador" on the o-line needs to be fixed quick.(Russell being hit before he can get a handoff is just not acceptable.) O-line needs sled duty big time for running and laps for poor pass defense in known blitz situations (short slants please?)
Defense needs to be hitting something all week.............
I won't air dirty laundry but Coach P did the right thing for a certain person. (It's a shame, but you can only help somebody if they want it themselves.)
I think Jaylon still wanted to play more football last night.lol
Russell was making more pancakes than Denny's last night.
Blake is a beast.........keep him involved. (a head somewhere is still ringing).
Uh...the fake extra point was ugly as Betty Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane". Why not continue with the heavy duty package (they couldn't stop it)
No more timeout calls for short yardage allowing the other team's defense to set up a strategy. OK?
Funny, halftime Coach P. asked us if we had any suggestions and we gave a laundry list.........thanks for opening up the game. (You almost took too much time doing it though) :D

Overall a lot of heart and character surfaced last night............we need to capitalize on that momentum

[E-Vol-ution]

Bowie MVP this year is Sergio Cantu.
It's a heck of a sacrifice for a senior to be willing to give up his long awaited starting QB spot if it would make Bowie's team better by playing Kolby Listenbee.
This helped set in motion a team first attitude and helped Kolby progress faster than if he would have had to go it alone learning the system without that all so important senior input.
I think this also rubbed off on some of the coaches (just my opinion).

I expect this team to shock some people during the playoffs..............

Coming from the JV team that would be correct IMO, but there will be some freshmen moving up who could play varsity right now.
Have you seen Coach Perry's kid?:eek:
He's a nifty QB that can already put it on the spot at 45 yards.
There are quite a few skill guys coming up and a lot of returnees that will have three year varsity experience.

[slcdragonfan]

Midland looks pretty strong this year. Then if you get past them it is either Coppell, Plano, or Duncanville. I watched the Duncanville/CHILL game last night, they are a very good team.

A tough row to hoe this year for the Vols.

Good luck to the Vols against Midland.

Now I understand, We handled Arlington pretty well on Saturday without PW and now Kenny. My biggest fear of 7 on 7. Congrats Bowie and Evo.

I will hop on your thread from time to time so it is not an E-vol thread only and I can learn more about Bowie.

In fairness, Arlington was not fully represented last Saturday.

Quite a few folks are on a read-only on the Bowie thread.:)
The team looks good this year......very good.

Good, maybe we can get a rematch in the playoffs, with a different outcome this time. :D

We're a lock for D1.........you guys most likely have a path closer to last year's with Arlington or Lamar as possible match-ups.
I really know nothing about Paschal, Sam Houston, Weatherford or North Crowley......perhaps they surprise somebody.

[chhspantherfan]

KTs put y'all up in the Darkhorse section of top 25........http://www.5atexasfootball.com/2011/06/2011-darkhorses-region-1/



good luck this season !!

We are locked in at DII.

Arlington's QB looked very good in 7 on 7. Tall, accurate and strong arm.
He had some dropped balls that were not his fault.

I fully expected to see Bowie in the top 10 when they were not listed previously, I did not expect to see Guyer that high nor Coppell but knew Coppell would certainly be in the top 25 so they had to be there but I could see where someone (not me) would have Guyer outside the top 25 with how much they lost last year. They will be very good.

Kolby's put a lot of work in throwing the ball.
He's already the best running QB in Bowie's history (1,000 yards last year).........kid raised the ante.

I can't say we deserved to be in the top 10 for a preseason ranking (it's not my board), but I can say for the first time I really don't care who we play in post season........as long as the kids are healthy and stay grounded.
A few people are going to be surprised IMO.lol
When's that stock thread coming out? :D

[E-Vol-ution]

This Bowie team has everything needed to challenge anyone in any style game............some kids that pursued other sports are back on the field.

Very talented group that has undisputed leadership.

Diverse playmakers on both sides of the ball with hellacious speed by Bowie standards.

Plenty of these kids can play at the next level and or excell on the HS level.

Special teams play should be awesome.

[hollywood]

Good luck to the Vols this season.

Good luck to the Vols this season.

Thanks Wood.....I'll be checking SGP out quite a bit this year.
My nephew is still in GA for the summer and most likely will start out on JV unless he's needed for his foot.
Best wishes to SGP.

Very good showing for Bowie at Ratliff yesterday against Odessa......still have a few things to work on, but a lot of promise was shown.
Most starters played only the first half....so a lot of kids got on the field for their first taste of varsity ball.
Lots of playmakers out there.
All the respect in the world for Odessa.........they lost a lost of key guys, but will end up on their feet. I wish them a lot of luck in 3-5A.

I`d say that as long as Bowie stays healthy they will give everyone hell, but their backups are pretty damn good too.

Best of luck to them the rest of the season.

Nice game Bowie fans, looks like you have an offensive two-some to threaten most anybody.

I see SLC has another beast RB nobody talked about and a slew of wrs......somebody else might get fooled, but most know those kids will be catching balls all week.

I'm too busy running my kids between hockey, soccer, and their other activities to get to make road trips to watch the alma mater anymore....

Kids want to go to Midlothian games, so I will oblige, as this is our home team now.

But my thoughts and support for Bowie remain. Best of luck this season E-Vol.

II looked at the History of Bowie High school on WOS87's football database page and it showed Bowie was closed from 1983-1991. I wondered why so I looked it up and Bowie actually moved to the Southeast of Arlington. Preety bold move by AISD but it seemed to work out for the best.

Also, Bowie and Arlington High aren't using Maverick stadium anymore? Where are their home games now?

Bowie plays at Wilemon (Sam Houston) and Arlington plays at Cravens (Lamar).

Scary what they can turn into.

I will be interested to watch the Martin/Bowie game..... got the date circled.

[E-Vol-ution]

Good test against Skyline.........I like our chances.

[E-Vol-ution]

In the past Bowie has had some studs at QB who could dish a lick as well as take one........the kids we have now really need to slide once maximum yards are picked up for the good of the team.

I applaud the Bowie coaches prep and schemes against Arlington........:notworthy
Offensive coordination was very good. (got to get those receivers to stick longer on their blocks)
