'Dogs pull away from rival 'Horns to win in Wibaux

The Bulldogs pulled away from their rival Longhorns in the fourth quarter to come away with a 48-34 victory in Wibaux on October 5th. CCHS only had 11 men suited up for the game. Neither team could stop the other on defense. In the end, it was the conditioning of the Bulldogs, along with three turnovers on special teams, that secured a victory for CCHS.

Most of the Bulldog offense came on the ground, as it usually does. Different than normal, though, in Wibaux was the 'Dogs strong and often usage of the quarterback keeper up the gut of the opposing defense. Also of note in the contest were two spectacular catches by junior end Eldon Morris, one of which put the 'Dogs in a good scoring position - the other was indeed a score. Morris also had a fumble recovery on special teams.

The Bulldogs will need to improve on defense in the coming weeks if they hope to make a push for the playoffs. They will again be short-handed this week when they take on Poplar at home as injuries have continued to add up in recent weeks. After Poplar, they will next play Fairview On October 18th at Rowley Field for Senior Night.
