The Trion Bulldogs picked up their third victory of the season Friday night, winning a high-scoring battle over the Dade County Wolverines, 42-35, in Trenton.

The Bulldogs and Wolverines traded scores throughout the night, but Trion was able to come away with the seven-point victory. MaxPreps now lists the game as final, with Trion improving to 3-1 and Dade County falling to 1-3.

Friday’s victory gives Trion back-to-back wins. The Bulldogs defeated Ridgeland 38-17 last week after opening the season with a 36-7 victory over Gordon Lee and suffering their only loss thus far, 31-7 against Model.

The win also continues a strong start to the season for head coach Sean Patrick’s Bulldogs, who have now scored at least 36 points in each of their three victories.

Trion returns home next Friday night, September 18, when the Bulldogs host Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe at 7:30 PM.
