-----------------
After months of preparation the Dogs were finally unleashed on their home field and they did not disappoint. Playing in front a large home audience on a hot August night, the Bulldogs struck early and kept the pressure on the Wolf Pack throughout most of the game with a mix of passing and running and plenty of solid defense. The Tracy win was the 14th in a row and the 20th out of 30 in the series dating back to 1996.
Quarterback Brady Brown was 7 of 1 for 178 yards in the air and another 85 yards rushing on 9 carries. The Bulldogs collected 350 total yards in just the first half when they scored 41 of their 61 points. The Bulldog defense allowed only 131 West yards.
"I really liked the week of practice we had leading into this game," said Coach Jeff Pribble as he celebrated with the team postgame. "We had good blocking for the running game, we communicated well on defense, and I thought the offensive line broke open the game for our backs. Overall we have a young team but I like the progress we are making. Big Team Little Me came to fruition tonight."
The Dogs will take their high spirits on the road next week to face Turlock High who has been a force in the Central Valley.
