The Alvord Bulldogs football team proved they were the district’s top dog after a 27-20 win over the Tioga Bulldogs on Oct. 23.

Tioga jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter, but turnovers and penalties allowed Alvord to rally and send them home 2-2 in district play.

“It was a tough one,” said Zach Birdwell, Tioga athletic director and head football coach. “… Dropping another one by a touchdown, especially one that held as much weight as that game did, was tough, but the kids had a great week of practice. They did everything they needed to leading up to it, but sometimes it just doesn’t fall your way.”
