The Cougars kept their undefeated status intact at the end of the game but the Bulldogs can take pride in the fact that they were the first ever team this season to score against the formidable defense line of the home team.

“The coaching staff was extremely pleased with the effort The first half was nearly flawless. The offense amassed over 500 yards of offense.
The offensive line and the wideouts blocked very well all day. Tyler Greiner, Dallas Bosma, Matt Kirk, Micheal Lalonde, Jordan McCallum, Clayton Steen, and Austin Cherewko all had excellent days. Braden Nelson was the leading rusher with 256 yards. He was followed by Parker Cassidy with 98 yards, Mark Forrester with 76 yards and Morgan Loshny with 41 yards. Devon Woelk, Bryce Fisher, and Nicholas Baharally added 24 yards. On the defensive side of the ball, Micheal Lalonde had seven solo tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass knockdown.
