Austin Bowie and San Marcos had an intense two-game series while they shared the same district in 2016-17.
The first meeting, a home game for the Rattlers on Nov. 4, 2016, resulted in a blowout 59-7 victory for the Bulldogs. San Marcos got its revenge the next season, going down 16-10 at halftime, then scoring 21 points in the third quarter for a 31-26 come-from-behind win on Nov. 9, 2017.
The Bulldogs are always one of the toughest teams in their division, though, earning a playoff berth in each of the past 13 seasons, dating back to 2007. The team will contend for another postseason spot this year after losing 25 of its lettermen and bringing back another 25, including 10 starters — four on offense and six on defense.
