The Bulldogs were back in action tonight after a the holiday break. We were concerned with the break that we might come out a bit flat but we actually saw the opposite from the players. Right from the beginning our energy was good and inside the first minute we got a quick strike from Devon Reyes (Sr), the first of three to come. That really set the tone for the game and the goals kept coming. Zane Sarka (Jr) left the defense chasing after as he ran them around on route to a hat-trick of his own. We had some good attacking play on both wings tonight as we got goals from both Carter Castillo (Jr) (2) and Gage Flanner (Jr). We're going to need more of that down the stretch so we're looking forward to their continued productivity.

Devon Reyes (Sr) was the usual ever present in the midfield keeping things flowing between the thirds and picked up a hat-trick along the way. Bradyn Diebel (Fr) acquitted himself quite well while working some good minutes in the holding midfield slot. Defensively, we did some good work as our young defenders continue to gain lots of valuable experience. It's important that our senior defensive leaders, Aidan Kapp and Kyle Jones continue to do a good job of guiding and supporting them.  

Next up: Home vs Potterville - Thursday, Sept. 8 at 6 p.m.
