Bulldogs Continue to Dominate, Trounce Groveton, GROVETON, October 25, 2013 - Coach Seven Armstrong's Corrigan Camden Bulldogs are continuing their domination of their 2A district by beating the Groveton Indians on the Indians' own field. The Dogs got off to a slow start allowing the Indians to score 2 touchdowns in the first quarter to take a 14 to 0 lead. That's where the Bulldogs drew the line.
Scoring Summary
First Quarter:
9:37: Groveton threw a 25 yard touchdown pass to cap off their opening drive with pat, Indians 7, Dogs 0
2:31: The Dogs defense had the Indians deep in their own territory. The Indians punted and as the ball came down it bounced off the back of a Corrigan player (meaning it's a live ball). The Indians jumped on the ball which lead to their second td (a 17 yard run from scrimmage), Indians 14, Dogs 0
Second Quarter:
5:17 Dogs cap off a drive when quarterback Haden Armstrong ran in a TD from 19 yards out. Dogs converted pat Indians 14, Dogs 7

2:32 On the ensuing kickoff running back Malyk Johnson stripped the ball from the Indian return man at the Indian 30 and cruised into the endzone, Dogs 33, Indians 14
Fourth Quarter:
Running back Keegan Mitchell takes a handoff from Armstrong, heads for the sideline and turned on the afterburners. Mithcell flew 70 yards down the Indian sideline for the final score of the game, Dogs 39, Indians 14.
Commentary
The impressive thing about the Corrigan-Camden Bulldogs is how strong they are both offensively and defensively. Other than a couple of blown assignments, this game could've been much uglier for the Indians. Other than one close game, the Bulldogs have laid waste to every team in their path. The Dogs have a formidable backfield with Keegan Mitchell (10), Malyk Johnson (2), Carlos Inguanzo (21), and Addison Kirkland (44). With an inventory of such running power, the Dogs are primarily a running team. To add to the threat, quarterback Haden Armstrong is an additional threat to run and wont hesitate to lower his head and run over a defender.
The Bulldog defense is equally impressive and put the clamps on the Indians and held the Indians scoreless for the rest of the game (after the 2 touchdowns in the first quarter).
Always room for improvement...
As the Bulldogs prepare to enter the post season, they'll meet other teams that are also formidable (much like themselves). Missing PATs after touchdowns is not good and could cost the Dogs. This needs to be corrected as soon as possible.
