8 Blue
Tuesday night, the 8th grade blue football team defeated Dexter 28-7.
The Dawgs were sluggish early and faced a 7-0 deficit late in the second quarter. Regan Plank then broke a long run and punched in the two-point conversion with 22 seconds left in the half to give the Bulldogs the lead.
The team made some adjustments at the half, and came out firing on all cylinders, outscoring the Dreads in the second half 20-0.
The offensive line led the charge and their great blocking along with that of Carter Nicholson that allowed Plank to score three more times and for Collin Tailford to run in a 2-point conversion.
The defense played strong as well, shutting down the Dexter offense and creating 3 turnovers. Thomas Shemwell, Tailford, and other members of the defense made key tackles throughout the game.
Nicholson and Plank both recovered fumbles, and Lucas Racine had an interception that sealed the Bulldogs victory.
The Bulldogs will finish out the season Tuesday when they host Monroe.
