Notes:
The Bulldogs missed the 3A cutoff by only 4 students. With that they will once again be relying on a very young pool of players to lead them. Last season 11 starters were Sophomores. The Bulldogs are now looking for that experience to pay off. With a good run in the playoffs RB Anthony could reach 2000 yards in 2010. Expect them to fight for that final playoff spot and finish the regular season at 5-5 or 6-4. Their district will be very tough with games against Marshall, Tyler John Tyler and Whitehouse.
