Well week 10 came and went, now football season for the Bulldogs is over. Halellujah!!!!
If you recall about 3 weeks ago I wrapped up my post telling you to stay tuned for how, not if, but how we would lose our final three games. We had an overtime loss, a blow out, and then there was last night. What a fitting way to finish the season, 1-9.
Here's the recap. Bulldogs came out and played great defense, as always. The offense actually did a little too. Heading into the fourth quarter the Bulldogs lead 9-0. In fact with about 7:30 minutes left in the fourth we scored our first TD and lead 16-0. On our way to our second win of the season. Then something happened and the Ropers decided to start playing. The Ropers went on to score their first TD of the game and successfully executed the 2-point conversion, 16-8 Bulldogs. On our next possession we had a bad exchange witht he QB and Center and the Ropers recovered the fumble. A few plays later and a 2-point conversion added the score was tied 16-16 (Score tied within about 30 seconds). Our next possession would prove to be our last and it resulted in a punt. So the Ropers take over with about 4 minutes remaining and begin their drive to victory, however and interception returned for a TD put the Bulldogs ahead again 23-16. The Ropers took the ball again and drove down the field. They scored with about 8 seconds left 23-22. Surprisingly the Ropers line up for the field goal and it appears that overtime is in the future. Here's the good part, a poor snap, a scramble by the holder, and successful 2-point conversion pass puts the Ropers ahead and the victory, 24-22.
What a way to end the season. And in reality it shouldn't have been that close. Luckily for us the Roper's QB was suspended that day at school and so their second really good WR played QB. But, I guess it wasn't lucky enough.
I told you it would be exciting. Well, it's over, and I am on to Baseball. Don't worry once the season starts I will only update on a weekly basis not after every game. Thanks for tuning in to Bulldog football.

Did you change the blog background to mourn the season?? Happy for you the season is over and hope it provides a little relief before the baseball season begins. I remember those day when Scott coached in Wynn, there really was no down time. Move from one sport to another. Or at times two totally different sports at the same time. Oh well what we will do for a paycheck!!!
