Bulldog Football Season Underway!
Levi Van Zee
The ‘23 season of Bulldog football kicked off on Aug. 25 and with two games under their belt. The young Bulldogs are working hard to prepare for a very competitive conference.
The first gridiron match for the Bulldogs was held on September 25 against the Cut Bank Wolves. The Dogs were led defensively by Sawyer Horne with his 14 tackles, followed by Merek Easter with 9 and Deegan Mattson 6 tackles.
Offensively, Braden Martin carried the ball 6 times for 40 yards. The offense made their way into the red zone multiple times, but the Wolves were able to force turnovers. After a hard-fought battle, the Bulldogs lost their season opener 29-0.
Last weekend the Bulldogs made the long trek to face the top-ranked Florence-Carlton Falcons. Again, the defense was led by Horne with 12 tackles, and right behind him was Mattson with 10.
The offensive production was led by Deegan Mattson completing 12 of 13 passes. The Bulldogs fell to the defending state champs by a score of 47-0.
“We’re a young team learning more than just X’s and O’s. Our guys are focused on getting better every day at total football. The commitment from our team and staff has been incredible as we continue to find success beyond the scoreboard.” - Coach Joe Horne.
After a bye this past week, the Bulldogs will take on the Whitehall Trojans at home on September 15 with a 7:00 kickoff. Come out and support your local Bulldog football team!
