Between The Lines: The stands are packed, the crowd is loud, and the Bulldogs Fight hard under the lights tonight. The JV team shows grit and teamwork from the first whistle to the last play tonight The team has been practicing hard all week, running drills, studying plays, and pushing each other to improve, which pays off on the field tonight.

I know what the defense is trying to do and what the offense needs from me,” Perry says. His teammate and brother, Alex Perry, credits their coaches for the lessons that go beyond football. “The coaches always push us to focus on the little details. It’s not just about strength; it’s about footwork, timing, and being disciplined every play,” he said.
