Outlook: Twelve starters are back for Bulldog coach Kevin Hermes who will have the aid of a JV squad that went 8-1-1 last year. Jordan Hernandez and Roger Garcia will both see carries and should be helped by Fullback Jacob Harris. Newcomer Richard Gonzalez should also see time at RB, and Dylan Lorenz will step in at QB. Dual Tight Ends Rey Bazan and Daniel Garza will help the running game and should see balls tossed their way too. Both lines are strong, and 19 lettermen are back from a 7-4 team last season. The Bulldogs enter a new district this season; they have a new track, field house and stadium. A couple of key holes must be filled, but things are moving in the right direction, and the program is in good shape.
