In most of the aforementioned games, the Bulldogs' opponents scores were mostly after the game was a foregone conclusion and Head Coach Seven Armstrong had pulled his starters. Friday's game was a blowout right from the start...

As I mentioned last week, that was the scoring summary. What the scoring summary doesn't detail for you is the Bulldogs on the other side of the ball. The Bulldog defense has stifled its opponents all year. It's not often that Polk County is treated to a team of such balance with a defense that's equally as impressive as its offense. Head Coach Seven Armstrong and his staff have assembled and orchestrated a phenomenal team. The 2013 Bulldogs are the best team I've witnessed in my short time (in my 6th year) of reporting high school football games in Polk County, Texas. Yes, I'm aware of 1988, and 2002. Will the 2013 Bulldogs bring a third state championship to Polk County? It's hard to say. The playoffs are the best of the best. I'm certainly no expert in these matters, and I'm not a prognosticator, but I think the Dogs have to be serious contenders to go all the way. No matter what happens from this point, after the astounding season the Dogs just played, these dogs are truly set apart. Fasten your seatbelts its about to really get exciting.
Next game: Corrigan-Camden -vs- Buffalo in Crocket this Thursday at 7:30 pm.
