The game was a tale of two halves – in the first half, the Suwannee Bulldogs controlled the pace of the game and went in a halftime up 7-6 over the Wakulla War Eagles.
In the second half, the War Eagles came out and dominated their district rival – the defense swarmed and pressured the Bulldog quarterback, and the offense sccored 31 points to improve to 5-1 (1-0 in district play).
