SENIOR NIGHT PHOTOS - There are 400+ photos of the Seniors in football, cheer, dance, and band taken by Stu Jossey and Aaron Burg. These photos can be found in this folder for you to download with no $$ or watermarks across them. Because they were taken with two different cameras, please continue to look through the folder as you may find your family in two different parts of the album. I have video of the event as well that will be shown as part of the end of season movie(s).

The Bulldogs played spirited defense and kept the game relatively close in the first half vs the Rams, but St. Mary's turned the heat up in the 3rd quarter to pull comfortably away from Tracy and ice their 24th victory in a row over the Bulldogs.
The 2-7 Bulldogs will attempt to gain a league victory when they head to Kimball for the final game of Tracy's 2024 season next week.

Q1 - Tracy had the ball first but had their drive interrupted by an interception near midfield. The Bulldogs played good defense on the first St. Mary's drive but with 6:50 left in the quarter, the Rams would score the first of their 6 touchdowns to go up 7-0.
Tracy just missed a possible touchdown on their next drive as Brady Brown almost connected with Jeno Lawhorn on a deep ball over the middle, but the drive then stalled. Bulldog defense remained really good on the next series preventing the Rams from scoring.
Brown scrambled for a big yardage gain on the next series but Tracy had to settle for a 41 yard field goal attempt that was unsuccessful with 6 seconds left in the quarter
Q2 - St. Mary's kicked a 35 yard field goal early in the quarter to go up 10-0. At 5:24 the Rams scored again to go up 17-0.

The Rams responded immediately with 51 yard touchdown pass with 41 seconds left in the half to trot off the field leading 24-7.
Q3 - The Rams began their 3rd quarter assault putting three scores on Tracy to enhance their lead to a comfortable 45-7 at the end of the quarter.

"I appreciated your effort all week long and during the game," said Coach Pribble as he addressed his team postgame. "We now set our sights on Kimball next week. It will be our last game of the season and it's the one we are going to remember the most. I look forward to another great week of practice and a competitive game next week."

The opportunity for the 2024 Freshman Bulldogs to share a league title ended on Thursday as the Rams squeaked out a win at Wayne Schneider Stadium. It was a hard fought game and momentum shifted several times that played a profound impact on the outcome.
"I'm proud of you, we crumbled in the Lodi game when we were down, but this game we fought hard when we were behind and were just a couple of plays away from shifting this game," said head coach Kevin Speer. "We have Bear Creek next week and lets end the season on a high note."
The Bulldogs played well in this game and after dominating the time of possession in the first quarter had a chance to score early in the 2nd, but a tipped pass went in the hands of the Rams for an 85 yard Pick 6 and a major shift in momentum. With the Tracy defense playing well in the first half, they were harmed by a questionable pass interference call giving the Rams solid field position and ultimately another score to go up 13-0 at the half.
Tracy captured back the momentum they so richly deserved right out of the gate in the 2nd half as Liam Young broke free on a 65 yard touchdown run. The point after by Connor Giulliaci made it 13-7.
The Rams then fumbled immediately thereafter and Tracy had the ball on the Rams 32, but the drive was stuffed by the Rams thwarting the Bulldog momentum at that point.
The Tracy defense continued to keep the Rams in check and gave the offense some more opportunities to find the end zone but the 3rd quarter ended with St. Mary's leading 13-7.
In the 4th The Rams were able to drain a lot of clock with a long drive and ultimately scored on a 20 yard run with 4:48 left.
Tracy was able to put one final drive together and eventually found the end zone on a 1 yard keeper by Jacob Palumbo to bring Tracy to within 6 on the Giuliacci point after (20-14).
At 7-2 and league play done, Tracy will now play one final game at home vs Bear Creek (5-3) next Thursday.
