Sunshine no match for Sweet Water's attack
The Bulldogs hit the big play several times in the contest to put the game out of reach again their region foe. "One thing I was really pleased with was the we played with more intensity, especially on the offensive line," Coach Stacy Luker said. "Hopefully we get even better this week." Luker also praised the play of his offense during their 2-minute drill just before halftime. Quarterback Drew Luker got things started in the first quarter with a 7-yard run. Ty Glass added the conversion and Sweet Water led 7-0 with 8:22 to go in the first stanza. Less than three minutes later fullback Dominic Holt punched through for a 1-yard TD run. In the scoring drive Luker hit Johnny Lockett with a 17-yard completion and Holt had a 14-yard run as well. The try was no good but the Bulldogs increased their lead to 13-0 with 5:01 left in the first. Sunshine was not to be intimidated as they capitalized on a fumbled Sweet Water punt to set up their first touchdown. It came on a 10-yard pass, but the conversion failed, cutting the lead to 13-6 with 1:01 left in the first quarter. Minutes later Sweet Water extended their lead when Luker dialed up Travis Young with a 10-yard scoring strike. Glass converted the kick and the Bulldogs led 20-6. The Sweet Water defense forced a punt on the ensuing Sunshine possession and took over at their own 29-yard line.

The next Sweet Water possession was a quick one-play drive again. This time Johnny Lockett had the honors as he took the ball 85-yards on the single play. The attempt failed as the Bulldogs added to the lead 33-6. The defense held Sunshine and forced a punt just before halftime.
