The Bulldogs would score first, with Cain Brymer scoring on a four-yard touchdown run. Thrall responded with a 15-yard touchdown run by Colter Hill. The Tiger extra pointwas no good giving the Bulldogs a 7-6 lead.
In the second quarter, quarterback Coy Stutts connected with Styker Leschber on a 60-yard strike for a touchdown. The Bulldogs lead 14-6 at the half.
In the third quarter, Thrall would attempt to come back as Hill scored his second touchdown of the day with a four-yard run. The two-point conversion was no good. The Bulldogs answered with Brymer snagging a 10-yard pass from Stutts to extend their lead.
In the fourth quarter, the Tigers scored on a oneyard run to make the score 21-19.

As the regular season winds down, Coach Kovar says he wants his team to continue to play hard and stay focused.
“At the point in the season, we want to be at our peak performance,” Kovar said. “I’ve told the guys we have to stay focused and continue to give 100 percent effort in everything we do.”
The Bulldogs look to carry their momentum as they prepare for their final regular season game against the 7-0 Hearne Eagles on Friday at Hearne. If the Bulldogs win, they will have a chance to claim the district championship.
