The Gold B Team got the night started off with a bang as they scored on the first play on the game and continued on that path as they beat the Bulldogs 34-0.  The Gold A Team continued what the B Team started as they as well scored on the first play on the game and held the lead 24-0 at halftime.  The Bulldogs mounted a comeback in the second half bu the Bears held them off and finished on top with a score of 24-19 to sweep the Bulldogs on the night.  Great Job guys from Coach Dickson and Coach Payne.
