Tonight the Bi-District Champion Bulldogs will face the Stafford Spartans in an Area match up in Houston. The overall 10-1 Dogs kick off at 7 p.m. to face an overall 7-4 Spartan team at Sheldon ISD Stadium. Both the Dogs and the fans are ready.

This season has been one to remember, throughout Kilgore football history. The football teams all worked through blood, sweat and tears, and still come out on top by working together.

Inspirational coaches have led the way and pushed the players to their full potential.

“Through the workouts, the coaches really pushed us everyday, and Coach Fuller inspires me,”quarterback Damarion VanZandt said. “He always talks about how great of a team we can be, and it makes me want to work harder to accomplish that.”

Football is not only a sport to the Dogs. This has developed into a family. Being a part of the team shows the players how to work together, run through obstacles, carry the weight of school, games, and get better each and every day. It is an accomplishment, to not only for the coaches, but the players as well.

“The accomplishment that has been the most beneficial for us, is that we are working together as a family, and our energy,” runningback and cornerback Sage Orange said. “We’ve gotten better at loving each other to become not just a great team but a big family.”

Defeating Lindale and becoming District Champions is a title that the football team gets to hold and remember. The Bulldog players have worked hard this season, and it hasn’t only impacted the crowd, but Junior varsity players as well.

“We plan to work harder to win more games, and be ready for a comeback,”JV wide receiver and cornerback Zander Short said. “I am looking for us to get better as a team, and getting back on the field.”

The Dogs plan to continue to come together as a family and show every other team we are Bulldog Strong.

See you all in Houston. #ALLIN
