1st game of the season last night, the Dixon Bulldogs defeated the natives of perenial 1a powerhouse, the Stoutland Tigers (pop. 177) by a score of 37-29 on their home court. Power Fwd T. Martin had 3 steals and 4 pts for his effort for the night. Shoulda had 6, but forgot that when you get airborne on your layup, and decide to pass instead, you can't have the ball still in your possesion when your feet hit the floor again. :roll: We were a little worried about the team after last Monday nights scrimmage with the other 8th grade team. My sons team got pretty beat up in that scrimmage, losing by a solid 10 points. In their defense, the other 8th grade team has been together much longer than my son's team, and has become more proficient with the chemistry they've created. They scrimmaged the other 8th grade team again on Wens, and ended up beating them this time due to the fact that they did not have their star player with them, who was out sick for the 2nd scrimmage. I'm sure the other Dixon 8th grade team did in fact miss their Star Player for that scrimmage, so get well and we'll see you soon KRISTINE MCMILLAN!! Your 8th grade Girls team needs you!!
They lost (to the Boys team) 61-20 the other night. Officially, they're the Dixon BullDogs, but we now call them "Jerry's Kids".
