The Blanche Bulldogs’ offense exploded for 28 first-half points and cruised to a 34-6 victory over Riverside Christian Academy. Jacob Walker rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns. Michael Smith scored on a three-yard run to finish the scoring.

The Bulldog defense had another strong game giving up only one first down in the first half.

“Our team has been getting better each week,” said Coach Scott Woodfin. “We’ve won two in a row, three out of the last five. Being able to see a live defense and offense makes the difference. With 15 players we never get to work against a whole defense or offensive unit in practice,” Woodfin added.
