The Trion Bulldogs went on the road Saturday night for the 1st round of the state playoffs and will return home with a 45-40 win over the Schley County Wildcats.  With the win, the Bulldogs have now advanced to the second round of the playoffs for four straight years and won 9 games or more for four straight years.  Trion went into time with a 31-21 lead and extended that lead to 45-27 with 11:20 left in the game.  However Schley county would not go away and would get within five points of the Bulldogs but no closer.

Trion will make another four plus hour drive next Friday night to take on the region 4-A Champion Telfair County Trojans.  Telfair County won a close game with Emmanual County Institute (ECI) last night 22-19.  The Trojans are 9-2 on the year and have won nine games in a row after starting the season 0-2 with losses to Lamar County and Bacon County.
