On the run and ready for action at all times, the Bulldogs swarm onto the field, hoping for a fast kill. Fired up and full of pep, the team remains spirited throughout every victory and defeat.

But volume fifty was not the only thing to celebrate. The fact that the school had continued to grow from a one-room building to a complex that sat on 72 acres was something to celebrate.

Cheers were no less supportive and no fewer students showed up for games. Pride was solid thru and thru. Opening
