All-Area stars Gardner and Garcia lead Bulldogs to final four
Gardner and Garcia headline the Bulldogs as all-area standouts guiding the team to the final four.

He also returned a 53-yard punt for a TD against Haskell and caught a pass against San Angelo Lake View. Garcia anchored a defense that answered early questions, recovering two fumbles, intercepting two passes, and leading in tackles while spearheading a fierce pass rush.
