TOUCHET–The Lady Bulldogs came away with a resounding 63-21 win over the Touchet Redhawks thanks to pressure, and lots of it. Dayton is now 5-0 overall, 2-0 in league play. The Lady Dawgs traveled to Mac-Hi earlier this week, and look to a Friday road trip to Oakesdale, with a Saturday home stand against Colton. Last weekend's contest with Pomeroy was not played due to Dayton Schools being closed due to illness. The home game was rescheduled for December 27. "Dayton put the pressure on right awa...

DAYTON–The Lady Bulldogs have been on an uphill march, looking for a win after a season-opening win against Colton, followed by six straight losses.

DAYTON–A wave of illness swept through the Dayton Bulldogs' ranks last week, taking a bite out of the 12-man roster enough that last week's contest at Soap Lake was canceled, but team members have recovered and it looks like this week's game against Waitsburg is on, according to Head Coach Lucas Collier. Collier attributed the situation to the usual flurry of sickness that occurs when school resumes each year, and, with a small roster like the Dawgs have this season, the few absences make a b...
