Bulldogs get 51-6 region win over Wildcats

Michael Clements

The Sweet Water Bulldogs proved to be ungracious hosts to the St. Luke’s Episcopal Wildcats on Friday night. The Bulldogs would score all the points they needed for the win in the first quarter with nine points. However the Dawgs would add another 42 to that en route to defeating the Wildcats 51-6.

The Bulldogs defense started the scoring at the 10:02 mark of the first quarter when they recorded a safety, to put the Dawgs up 2-0. The Bulldogs then struck again with 8:35 to go in the first quarter, when Braiden Broussard connected with Sasha Smith for a 35-yard touchdown pass. Michael Alan Cole’s PAT was good and the Bulldogs took a 9-0 lead over the Wildcats. The quarter would end with that score.

Broussard connected with Anotonio Sullivan for a 26-yard touchdown pass with 10:45 to go in the second quarter and a successful 2-point conversion run by Xavier Lucy stretched the Bulldog lead to 17-0 over the Wildcats. At the 2:04 mark, Jaland Lewis Horton scored on a 2-yard run. Cole’s PAT was good and the Dawgs increased their lead to 24-0.
