The Bulldogs are back in town in Tioga, with the Bulldogs football team returning to the practice field to get ready for the 2025 season.
In their second season under the direction of Zach Birdwell, Tioga athletic director and head football coach, the 9-3 Bulldogs were the champions of 2A-1 Region II District 6 and finished as the runner-up to the Kerens Bobcats in the 2A Area Championship.
“We had a great season last year,” Birdwell said. “We found ways to win in non-district, ran the table in district, including a very solid game against a good Wolfe City team to win the district and had a great round one [playoff] game, but we’re looking to build off of it and make the jump from great to elite. We believe the elite teams play in Thanksgiving and in December, and we fell a little short of that last year, so we’re looking to build off the positives, fix the negatives and be back in the mix.”
