Bulldogs ready for Cardinals

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 big difference. So far, there have been no football-induced injuries to the Bulldogs, he said.

"We're going to go head-to-head with Waitsburg," Collier said. "Waitsburg may have lost a key player and I don't know if they can stop our line.

"I expect a battle this week," Collier said.
