Football's Back! No. 1 Goal For Austin Prep? Improve On 2016 Record

Practice starts Aug. 18; season starts with home matchup against Salem Witches.

Austin Prep hasn't won a Catholic Central Large title since 2009 when the Cougars shared the crown with Arlington Catholic. Maybe a title is a reach this fall but the Reading school should certainly improve on last fall's 2-9 record. Following is the Cougars' fall schedule along with the 2016 records of each opponent.

Fri., Sept. 8, 7 p.m. – Salem (3-8) at Austin Prep
