The JV Bulldog Football team played at home against the Wright City   Wildcats on Monday night to kick off their season.  The game was a defensive battle from the first possession with three straight drives resulting in fumbles by both teams.  After the stint of turnovers both teams calmed down and started to move the ball, it wasn’t until early in the second quarter that the Wildcats scored first on a short run. The Bulldogs answered right back with a long pass and catch from Gabe Henderson to RJ Branham ending on the one yard line, Gabe scored on the next play with a quarterback sneak.

From then on the Bulldog defense gave up very little offensive yards    gaining several sacks on the quarterback and stopping the sweep play that had been hurting them at the beginning of the game.  The Bulldogs finished the game with a win 8-6.  The coaches were pleased with the outstanding defensive effort.
