Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Arlington will square off against Bowie at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Colts will need to watch out since the Volunteers have now posted at least 31 points in their last three matchups. As for Sam Houston, they will challenge Lamar at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Texans will be up against the Vikings' rather soft defense (which has allowed 30.17 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
