DAYTON–The news that Dayton's Homecoming football opponent wouldn't be coming came just as the Homecoming Assembly was underway.

PALOUSE–With both of Dayton's last two Friday Night Lights rescheduled, the two-week break didn't help the Bulldogs as they fell 50-16 to the Gar-Pal Vikings here Monday, Oct. 14.

Bulldog receiver Denver Hutchens (16) went high for the ball, caught it then went heels over head across Waitsburg Cardinal defender J.J. Gleason's back in action from Dayton's 54-22 loss last Friday in Waitsburg.

WAITSBURG–Three instances of bad luck in a row for the Dayton Bulldogs meant three good-luck touchdowns for the Waitsburg Cardinals and those touchdowns slammed the door on the game in Waitsburg's 54-22 decision over the Bulldogs here last Friday. After denying a Bulldog touchdown on four tries inside the five-yard line, the Waitsburg Cardinals chalked up four of their five second-quarter touchdowns on Bulldog miscues. After that the Bulldogs blanked the Cards in the third quarter while n...

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...
DAYTON–The startup of the 2024 volleyball season has started to get steep for the Lady Bulldogs.

On the road to Garfield-Palouse the Lady Dawgs fell to Gar-Pal in three sets, 12-25, 14-25, 15-25. "The effort was there," observed Head Coach Des Jones, "but we had too many unforced errors.

DAYTON–The Bulldogs mowed down the fledgling Yakama Tribal Nation Eagles football program in the 2024 season opener 94-0 here last Saturday. "After about the first five minutes," said Head Coach Lucas Coller, "my coaches and I tried to slow down the game as much as possible. Slowing down the game but still having the boys play ball was hard on us. I didn't want to take away from everything we have been preaching, but still wanted to maintain some sort of sportsmanship." Collier acknowledged t...
