The Tioga Bulldogs traveled to Fort Worth in Week 2 to face the Southwest Christian Eagles and took their second loss of the season, falling to the Eagles 3815 on Sept. 4.

It got late early for the Bulldogs, with the Eagles’ offense exploding for four touchdowns in the first half, which proved to be an insurmountable lead.

'They have big-time players,” said Zach Birdwell, Tioga athletic director and head football coach. “That’s one of the reasons we wanted to play them. There’s not an offensive line in 2A or 3A that looks like that one, a [great] quarterback and one of the best, if not the best, running backs we’ll see this year. We want to see that type of talent now so that when we roll into district nothing will catch us off guard.”
