The Tioga Bulldogs football team took the crown in Region II District 6 of 2A Division I high school football and reached the third round of the playoffs, and their ability to win at the line of scrimmage was a big driving force.
The Bulldogs' front five faced adversity early last season, but the group recovered and helped clear the way to one of the most successful seasons in program history.
“Going into last year, we were scheduled to have four seniors on our offensive line, and in the first game the injury bug hit us, and next thing you know we had two freshmen starting,” Cole Wills, Tioga offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, said. “They had growing pains as a unit, but you could see them getting better and better every week, and they eventually helped lead us to a district championship. The experience was huge for those younger guys as far as their growth as football players and men, and it was huge for us because we knew they would start again for us.”
