PINELAND – The Colmesneil Bulldogs broke their streak last Thursday night against the West Sabine Tigers, but if the final score of 26-24 is any indicator, the ‘Dogs are still one salty team this season.
While the Bulldogs’ seven-game winning streak might have ended, and their perfect district record might now sit at 5-1, they put in a true team effort, offensively. Senior star running back Dean Yates put in a performance of rushing for 71 yards. Yates also put in 34 receiving yards and one touchdown. He had two rushing TDs, and the game was his sixth in a row with at least two rushing TDs.
Carson Fasske also showed what he is made of, with 9 out of 14 passes completed, for 198 yards and one TD pass.
While the Tigers’ win built on their own winning streak, the Bulldogs are setting their sights on revenge against an early season loss in the playoffs bi-district round this week. They will take on the Cushing Bearkats at Center High School on Friday, at 7 p.m.
The last time Colmesneil and Cushing met up, at the end of August, before the start of district play, the Bearkats trounced the Bulldogs, 27-0, but with a season of momentum built, the ‘Dogs look to right that wrong.
The winner of that game will go to the Area round, and will take on the winner of the Collinsville vs. Maud game.
