Dogs tipoff this week

Under the tutelage of 10 resilient seniors and a first year head coach in Ryan Marwitz, the Hamilton Bulldogs pieced together a football season for the ages in 2022. Posting a winning 7-6 record, the Bulldogs forged ahead on a memorable regional qualifying campaign. The last time a Hamilton football team was playing over the Thanksgiving holidays was in 2004 and 2005 when the Chris Wilde led Bulldogs advanced three games deep in consecutive seasons.
