Bob Olwin era gets off with a stormy start and a win for the Bulldogs

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, September 2, 2013

By Dusty Donley

The Bob Olwin era got off to a stormy start last Saturday night in East Clinton, Ohio, but once the skies cleared, it was business as usual for the football Bulldogs. Sparked by a four touchdown performance from first year senior quarterback Matt Wilcox, the Bulldogs racked up 357 yards of total offense in route to a 35-19 victory over the Division IV Astros.

Lightning filled skies delayed kickoff for just over two hours, but that did nothing to slow the Bulldogs as they struck first on a 9 yard Wilcox touchdown pass to senior Austin Dumbaugh after less than six minutes of play. The extra point was blocked, leaving the score 6-0.
