Especially with the season’s circumstances, a whale of a season for @CoachDixon_63 and the Bulldogs.

Nothing to hang your head about @FootballHeights

[LeaderSports @HouSportsLeader]

WOW — the Bulldogs come up with a massive 4th-down stop on the goal line to get the ball back!

[LeaderSports @HouSportsLeader]

Bulldogs still trail the Taylor Mustangs 14-13 heading to the 4th and final quarter at Delmar Stadium.

Buckle up, folks — we’re in for a good finish.

[LeaderSports @HouSportsLeader]

@FootballHeights defense standing up big! After Taylor forces a turnover on downs, the Bulldogs come up with their third takeaway of the night!

Still trail the Mustangs 14-13 here as they play in the third quarter.

[LeaderSports @HouSportsLeader]

@FootballHeights trails Katy Taylor 14-13 at halftime at Delmar Stadium.

All the Bulldogs’ scoring has come courtesy of a couple tough touchdown runs from @keno_datman in the second quarter.

Taylor will receive the ball to begin the 2nd half.

Touchdown @HeightsFootbal1

This Kendric Rhymes kid is fun to watch. He bounces this run to the outside then dives for the pylon for his second rushing TD of the half. XP is no good. 14-13, Katy Taylor with 3:40 remaining until half. #TXHSFB
