Bulldogs Shift to Split-T Sparks Win Over Junction
The Bulldogs revived a split-T attack after early misfires and dropped passes in a practice-like outing against Junction. Bradshaw scampered for two touchdowns after a 30 yard first carry, Garvey's steady runs fixed the line, while pass protection lagged and turnovers surfaced. The Eagles matched with two scores but fielded reserves and a new coach, leaving future showdowns with San Saba Coleman Ballinger uncertain.
