Commentary...
The Bulldogs played good, but the Wildcats seemed to always do just the right thing to keep their lead.  In his post game speech to the team, Head Coach, Seven Armstrong told his men "Get your heads up".  "Y'all played your guts out tonight and left everything on the field".  "You need to be proud of yourselves".  "Somebody has to lose, tonight it was us" "Keep your heads up and be proud". 
 
Indeed, the Bulldogs did Corrigan-Camden and Polk County proud.  They played a heck of a good season.  Coach Armstrong and his staff put together a super team that seemed invincible, but in the playoffs, the competition becomes intensely more difficult.  The Dogs were totally capable of beating the Wildcats, but on this cold snowy night, it just wasn't to be.
 
Willie P. Openshaw, Editor
If you've enjoyed these highlight reels:  You should know that the person, Willie A. Openshaw, is the person who puts these reels together week after week.  He films every play of the game, then when he gets home, he meticulously goes through each and every play of the game and picks out the best plays, and puts them to music.  The job is very tedious, but the Willster just enjoys what he does.  With this exhausting job, he usually gets to bed at around 5 am on game night so our readers can enjoy the highlight reel the next morning.  Additionally, the Willster works with many of our youth at Central Baptist Church in Livingston.  He travels to Guatemala every year and helps build shelters for families whose home would normally be a hole dug into the side of a mountain.  He's a stand up guy who would give nearly anyone the shirt off his back if it would help them (he's also an exceptionally good guitarist). - Editor
