The rain soaked skies above Civic Field
held back their deluged, allowing the sun to shine down and warm the gridiron where two Pacific Football League titans would wage battle.
After a bitter loss at Yakima last week the Bulldogs looked to taste
sweet victory again with a win over Grays Harbor. However defeating
the Bearcats would not be easy. Bellingham struck first as the
offense worked to establish their running game early with a touchdown
on the legs of Brett Hall. The Bearcats would answer quickly with a
touchdown through the air as quarterback David Evans connected with
wide receiver Christoper Jackson on a 67-yard pass. The two teams
would trade score for score throughout the first half. Each defense
struggling to find their rhythm. Heading into halftime the Bulldogs
held onto a one-point lead.
Bellingham's offense would come out for
the second half and serve up another heavy dose of their running game
and continue their relentless dominance of the line of scrimmage.
With help from the legs of Brett Hall the Bulldogs added to their
score twice more, giving Hall four touchdowns on the day. The
Bulldogs defense finally woke up and showed why they are the best in
the league, blanking the Bearcats for the entire second half, despite
a great effort by Grays Harbor offense. Final score: 42-20.
