The Bellingham Bulldogs tackled a
familiar foe from the past in the Renton Ravens Saturday, July 9th
at Lummi High School Field. This evening the Bulldogs honored a
fallen bother as they paid tribute to the memory of #41, Doug
Neumann.
The somber tone set by the ceremony
would quickly dissipate as the Ravens struck early with a touchdown.
Bellingham's offense struggled to finish off drives and looked
sluggish off the line of scrimmage. But the Bulldogs defense kept the
Ravens out of the end zone, giving their offense plenty of
opportunities to even the score.
Throughout the game both sides were
heated, resulting in several drive-killing penalties. The Bulldogs
and Ravens utilized their ground game, pounding out each yard.
However, Bellingham would be the first to open up their passing
attack and ultimately besting their long-time rival in the waning
minutes of the fourth quarter. Final score 19-14. Click here to view photos from the game.
