Football team plays great but falls in heartbreaking fashion-
At no point during the entire game did the Black Knights have a lead over the Bulldogs at CHS on Friday night...other than when the clock read 0:00 in the 4th quarter. After a strong performance that saw the 'dogs take a 19-7 lead into halftime and hold a 25-22 lead with the ball deep in Black Knight territory with less than a minute to play, the unthinkable happened and the visitors put together a 70+ yard drive with no time outs, culminating in a touchdown pass with no time left on the clock.
The 28-25 final score devastated Bulldog fans who had been treated to a great offensive performance by the Green and White. The combination of Brian Hagan to Derrick Harris was unbelievable on the day, repeatedly connecting on great passes and catches. Anthony Ross made two HUGE catches over the middle in key moments of key drives. It was an overall phenomenal Bulldog performance.
The team will look to rebound as they travel to Foxboro on Friday night at 7:00pm.
