Coach’s Comments:  “We came out tough and ready to play, but it wasn’t enough for a very skilled and physically tough Brookville team. We were down as much as 16 midway through the 4th quarter and fought our way back to get as close as 7. It was good to see everyone get in the game and score, even though we didn’t come away with the win. Despite our 8-6 record I feel the boys are continuing to improve individually and as a team.”  Courtesy of Bulldogs Coach Chris Bradford.
