Mike Says: The Bulldogs had an outstanding year last year. This year a 12 win season will be a lot more difficult. The offense averaged over 40 points a game last year but only return 2 starters from that unit but one of them is RB/WR Skaggs who is a difference maker. Look for them to go 7-3 or 8-2 in the regular season and come in 2nd or 3rd in the district behind Laredo United.

Chris Says: Laredo Alexander lost a lot to graduation and will have to rebuild fast if they are going to approach last season's success. It is doubtful the Bulldogs will repeat as District 29-5A champs, but should make the playoffs.
