The Bulldog football team kicked off their season with a home game against the Colstrip Colts on August 29th. After graduating 6 seniors, and with the addition of a new Offensive Coordinator, Holden Sampson, the Bulldogs are looking to extend last year’s successful season.
In the first quarter, both running backs, Bradan Martin and Marek Easter, ran in touchdowns, and Logan Johnson kicked two extra points. This put the Bulldogs in an early lead of 14 to 0.
In the second quarter, Tavyn Anderson ran the ball in for a touchdown, and Logan Johnson kicked for an extra point. Later in the quarter, the Colts fumbled the ball, and the Bulldogs gained possession. After they recover the ball, Tavyn Anderson runs it in for another touchdown and Logan Johnson kicks another extra point, putting the Bulldogs up 28 to 0 going into the second half.
The Bulldog fans were lucky enough to have a Halftime Show put on by the Little Dog Cheerleaders. They performed the routine that they had been working on very hard this summer. From ages 4 to 12, the Little Dog Cheerleaders showed off the routine they learned from the high school cheerleaders.
On the first possession of the second half, Logan Johnson scored a touchdown and kicked an extra point to put the Bulldogs up 35 to 0 early in the third quarter. Later in the third quarter, Jim Tew had an interception to put the ball in the Bulldogs' hands. Tavyn Anderson threw a 25-yard touchdown to Bradan Martin, who reached the ball over the line and put the Bulldogs up 41 to 0. Logan Johnson kicked another extra point, giving the Bulldogs 42 points going into the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Colts finally get on the board when the Bulldogs fumble the ball and the Colts gain possession. With a final score of 42 to 7, the Bulldogs come out with a win against the Colstrip Colts. This was a great game to kick off the Bulldogs' season. Next Friday, September 5th, the Bulldogs will take on the Loyola Rams in Missoula. This will prove to be a tougher match-up, but the Bulldogs are hoping to keep their winning streak going.
