Outlook: Coach Mike Chaney's Bulldogs are one of a few teams in the district that will rely heavily on one specific player. The Dogs will feed the ball to RB Shane Watkins who is a playmaker that accounted for nearly 1,400 yards last season. If QB Trevor Hartfield can become a threat, it will take some pressure off of Watkins. In the passing game Hartfield will look for Justin Meador, an all district WR. The defense should be solid if not spectacular. All eyes will be on Watkins.
