Mills Home Boys Strengthen Bulldogs For Opener
Thomasville High School Bulldogs, in week three of pre season drills, prepare for the Sept 11 opener against Barnum Springs with added Mills Home players. Coach Hardy Henry notes stronger line play and depth, though backfield experience remains thin. The Bullpups roster features Mills Home and T. H. S. veterans competing for key backfield and lineman spots as they aim to improve on last season’s 5-3-1 mark. The schedule lists nine games including Sept 11 at home and Oct 30 vs Reidsville.
