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).

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT

County commission candidate Beverly Keister

By BEVERLY KEISTER Candidate

I have always been interested in politics and I am deeply concerned about the lack of responsiveness of the current Wakulla County government. I do not think the current administration is adequately representing the citizens of Wakulla County. I want to be sure the pristine natural beauty of Wakulla County is preserved and protected. I think there is a need for more access to recreational opportunities for our youth. I think developers should pay their fair share of new development.
