Bulldogs to open Friday
The Moran Bulldogs will begin regular season Friday, Sept. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in Rising Star, one week later than originally planned, after Benjamin was unable to field a team and had to cancel their Aug. 31 game.
Tomorrow’s game will be the first time new head coach Harley Ethridge will see his players in true game conditions.
“Scrimmages have been productive,” Ethridge said. “My main challenge is to find kids who have little experience and get them ready for varsity play. I am pleased with their eagerness and attitudes.”
The Wildcats dropped their season opener to Bronte last week 44-0, resulting in sixmanfootball.com favoring the Purple and Gold by 45 over Rising Star.
The Bulldogs will begin a three-week home stretch hosting Sidney on Sept. 14, Rotan on Sept. 21, and the Strawn JV on Sept. 28.
Admission prices at Bulldog Stadium are $5 for adults and $3 for students.
