The Wranglers will follow-up the May 4, showdown with South Georgia with a Bye Week and a road game against the Texas Copperheads before hosting the Spokane Shock on May 24. During the 2007 campaign, the Shock won 12 games and claimed the Western Division Championship. Leading the Shock on the field is quarterback Andrico Hines. The Shock signal caller ranked ninth among af2 quarterbacks in 2007 in passing efficiency and holds the franchise record of 62 touchdowns in a season. The Spokane Shock-Austin Wranglers game will be Military Appreciation Night as the Wranglers and the Central Texas community honor the men and women of the Armed Services.
