Bellingham hosted long-time opponent
the Snohomish County Vikings at Civic Field Saturday, June 2 for
their eighth game of the 2012 Pacific Football League season. The
Bulldogs defense set the tone early, dominating the line of scrimmage
and punishing the Vikings offensive line. Snohomish County's first
three offensive possessions ended with a fumble recovery by the
Bulldogs on the one-yard line, an interception off of a deflected
pass and a nearly blocked punt. All resulted in a Bulldogs' score.
Before the Vikings could catch their breath the score was 24-0 in the
second quarter.
The Bulldogs defense was so stifling
that it took a fumbled punt return for the Vikings to get into
scoring position, turning the opportunity into a touchdown. Snohomish
County continued to struggle under the suffocating pressure, relying
on the scarce Bulldog miscues for opportunities at points.
Bellingham's offense took advantage and quickly put the game out of
reach. Moving the ball effortlessly with their running game. Once the
Vikings' defensive backs were caught looking inside the Bulldogs
threw over their heads, scoring 32 unanswered points. Final score
65-10. Click here to view photos from the game.
