SAVANNA, Oklahoma – The Bulldogs are back this year with seven talented starters on each side of the ball, giving them a great chance of seeing the playoffs again.

On defense, the Bulldogs held their competition to 15 points per game, helped along linebacker Matt Murdaugh who had a breakout season. The now-senior had 45 tackles and three interceptions. Watch for Reedis James and Zac Doyle to also be big play makers. The hard-hitting duo racked up more than 110 tackles collectively last year.

The offense will also be experienced, having a deep skill positions pool to dip into. Quarterback Landon Walker will be looking for James and will be relying on Shaw Kinchion and Cory Caldwell on the line.
