It’s the third time in the last five years the Bulldogs have finished the season as state champs, all under current head coach Daryl Patton.
Senior safety Joey Savin helped lead the Bulldogs to victory on Saturday, and was named MVP of the game. The Bulldogs defense dominated, holding the explosive Har-Ber offense to just 278 yards, and forcing the Wildcats to commit six turnovers.
The Bulldogs finished the season with a 12-2 overall record.
Congrats, Purple Dogs.
