Mike Says: The Cowboys are heading into another great season bringing back 15 starters. The offense will be exciting with QB Barlow and RB/WR Rothe. Rothe is also a leader on the defense. Look for them to go 8-2 or 9-1 in the regular season and win the district championship. After that they should go 2 or 3 rounds into the playoffs with tough competition in the region from Bruni, Burton and Falls City.

Chris Says: D'Hanis is bringing a lot of starting talent back from a team that did extremely well last season. Chance Barlow will shine behind his solid, experienced offensive line and give Coach Langfeld options through the air as well as on the ground. Expect the Cowboys to handle the regular season well and run into trouble once again from the likes of Burton or Falls City.
