Texas Rangers

The Texas Rangers in 2016 look to contend for the World Series. The Falcon Quill predicts that the Rangers will win the Division after making a trade that propels the Rangers to top the Astros. The Rangers look to contend for the title with their pitching. Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish at the top of the rotation are looking to lead the way.

The Rangers this year will start slow, without having their ace pitcher, Yu Darvish, but once he returns the Rangers will go on a tear, lead by their pitching, and manager, Jeff Bannister. The Rangers will go on a 27 game win streak from June-July to break the 100 year consecutive game winning streak record held by the New York Giants. The Rangers will lose in the ALCS to the Kansas City Royals in a 7-game series.

Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys in 2016 look to win a sixth Super Bowl. After the abysmal season in 2015 they are hoping to be able to win the NFC East. Upper School History Teacher, Colin Douglas ‘06, believes that the Cowboys should look to draft Jared Goff with the 4th overall pick in the draft. This would allow the boys to have Goff learn from Romo for the last few years of his career.

The Cowboys won’t be able to select Jared Goff because the Browns will select him with the second overall pick. Jerry will select Carson Wentz, quarterback, from North Dakota State University. During the season the ‘boys will struggle once Romo goes out with injury and Wentz will take over and lead the Cowboys to the Superbowl. The Cowboys will win their 6th Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs in Houston.
