Mike Says: The Volunteers have had a lot of success since coach Perry has arrived. This year the strength of the team will be the secondary. Everyone is looking forward to their clash against Dallas Skyline which will show them where they stand with the states best. Look for them to go 8-2 or 7-3 in the regular season and come in 2nd in the district behind Arlington Martin. They will go Division I in the playoffs and should be around for 2 or 3 rounds.

Chris Says: Arlington Bowie just barely lost to Southlake Carroll in the Region playoffs last season. While they may not be quite the same team, the Volunteers do bring back some starters that can make a difference. I can see this team making it to the Area playoff round.
