THE DAWG P O U N D

AUSTIN BULLDOGS The Fort Bend Austin volleyball team looks to carry the banner this Fall as they fight to get back in the postseason in 2023 as their star Adell Murray (Penn-commit) returns to lead the way. The future Ivy Leaguer will anchor the middle for the Bulldogs as they hope to improve on their fourth place finish from a year ago. New coach Trey Herrmann looks to turn the football team around, bringing a new culture and renewed energy. It’s a fresh slate for Austin football and becoming competitive in district play will be the first order of business. Water polo got their feet wet last year in a relatively new UIL sport, while Aaliya Virani and Shirina Kakulavaram will pace the cross country squads. Tennis will be led by Samar Parasmal, Rajan Parikh and Nina Gerlovich, who will be called upon to get valuable wins this Fall as they challenge for another playoff spot.
