Outlook: Coach David Wright's Bulldogs have ten starters back from a team that won eight times last year. Garet Box has experience at RB and will once again look to gain big yards from his small frame. Mason Burke will serve as the blocking back. Keaton Muxworthy will get the call at QB. On defense LB will be a position of strength with Truman Baize, Ethan Brown, and Jared Massingil leading the way. More defensive playmakers are needed. The Dogs appear to be a team that will come together early in the year and be tough down the stretch.
