1959 Hotchkiss alum, saw the 49-21 win over Res. Christian Nov 12. Bulldogs slow start, Down 21-7 at half, bounced back with 42 unanswered points, 27 in 73 sec early in 4th to win going away 49-21. That's the kind of explosion we've seen all year. Glad to see they didn't get down, made some defensive adjustments and 4th down stands, believed in what got them there and showed a lot of character. Congrats to Senior Jamie Rodriguez, 300 yds & 4 TD's on 19 carries, 2 on 96 and 72 yd runs. Great game Dawgs, and good luck Nov 19 against pass-happy Wiggins.
