Tioga to battle Alvord for championship

With their midseason bye week in the rearview, the (3-3) Tioga Bulldogs hit the road for a battle to determine their district’s top dog with the (6-2) Alvord Bulldogs.

Alvord enters the contest on a four-game winning streak, with their most recent victory coming in a 41-6 road win over Whitewright on Oct. 17.

“They’re sitting at the top of the district for a reason,” said Zach Birdwell, Tioga athletic director and head football coach. “They’re a well-coached and a very talented team that’s playing really good football at a really important time of the year. They’re good at what they do, so we know we have our work cut out for us this week.”
