The bulldogs pull off another victory against a tough Mountain View team. The Bulldogs were ahead 14 to zero at the half. We let the Mountain View Buffaloes into the game early in the third quarter with a touchdown. Dino Collins was injured with a sprained ankle. We scored again but our defense buckled a little and let them score twice in the fourth. Thank goodness we had Cody Savage kicking our extra points. He nailed all three to give the Bulldogs a 21 to nineteen victory. Mark played very well, I thought. He had to pick up some extra coverage after our inside linebacker was ejected from the game for an unsportsmanlike call. (Okay, this is going to sound unsportsmanlike too, but the Ref's could have called the unsportmanlike stuff both ways. Dylan was finally fed up with the cheap shots and late hits that we were getting. I think he finally had enough when they threw Collin down and stepped on him after the play was dead. This happened all game.) I do appreciate our coaches taking the high road and encouraging our kids to do the same. They are teaching our boys life lessons and teaching them to be men.... good men.
Mark got the first touchdown of the game running up the middle. It was awesome to watch the blocking that AJ Montanez gave him and also Nathan Ballard helped guide him through the MV line.
This picture is of Mark getting a reception.
Overall the day was a good one. Jan Asay and I showed up at the Collins home where Amanda and Glynn joined us. Amanda is a sweet girl and we had lots to talk about since the trip took about six and half hours to get there and then six and a half back. I drove down and then Glynn drove home, mostly in the dark. Thanks for the great company everyone! The boys had to stay overnight in Lander because of our rule that the buses should not be on the road after 1 in the morning.
