Both Bandera Middle School Bulldog seventh grade A and B teams added wins and shut outs to their record recently with victories over the Hondo Owls.

The B Team got on the board after a long drive when halfback John Derry scored from the 12-yard line. The PAT failed and the Dogs led by six points.

During the second half, the Dogs scored again when fullback Travis Lema rushed in from the 29. The PAT was added on a pass from quarterback Neal McLean to Derry.

The Bulldog A Team also added another win to their season record which now stands at 7-0.

The Bulldog offense got started on a pass from quarterback Ty Neff to tight end Noah Nelson, good for 34 yards, which set up the first touchdown by Luke Williams from 19 yards out. The PAT was added by Landon Ventura giving the Dogs an eight-point lead. When the defense took over, Williams again found the end zone when he intercepted an Owl pass and returned it to score. The PAT failed and the Dogs led by 14.

The next score came on a 37-yard run by Ventura and the PAT was kicked by Nelson to increase the Dogs’ lead to 27.

Next week, the Dogs play their last game of the season at home against the Pirates from Lytle.
