Bulldogs fall short
A pair of first half touchdowns by the Stratford Bulldogs was off set by a pair of second half touchdowns by the Crescent Tigers lifting them to a 15-13 win over the Bulldogs Friday night at Blackburn Field in Stratford.
Missed opportunities and five turnovers cost the Bulldogs in this non-district game. Stratford had four interceptions and one fumble. One of those interceptions came late in the game when the Tigers ended the Bulldogs hope of a late come back. With just over two minutes remaining in the game, Stratford got the ball back around midfield. On the second play of their possession, the Bulldogs turned the ball over and Crescent finished up the game winning by two points.
Tyler Mills put the Bulldogs on the board midway through the first quarter. Mills who had 88 yards on the night scored on a seven-yard run.
In the second quarter, Chase Chamberlain, who had 92 yards rushing and 113 passing, powered his way into the end zone from four yards out giving the Bulldogs a 13-0 half time lead.
It was Darian Bennet for Crescent in the second half. He scored on runs of 14 and five and with the successful conversions; Crescent took a 15-13 lead and held on for the win.
“We had our chances,” Stratford head coach Michael Blackburn said. “We just didn’t finish our drives.”
Stratford finished with 212 yards rushing on 40 carries and 113 yards passing on 10-of-19. Besides Mills and Chamberlain, Regand Ardery added 15 yards, Alix Vanlandingham 14 yards and John Sinnett 3. Vanlandingham had 54 yards in receiving to lead the way. Tyler Scoles added 29, Jordan Alberson 18 yards and Nick Cosby 12 yards.
Sinnett led the defensive charge with 11 tackles. Tyler Gaines added 8 while Cosby had 7 tackles and two sacks. Clay Rindal had the lone interception for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs will get back in district action next week against the Wewoka Tigers.
