Bulldogs a Winner in “80” Dedicated to returning the joy and prestige of winning to the football pro¬ gram, the 1980 Bulldogs accomplished just that. Although the final record of 5- 3-2 could have been better with a differ¬ ent bounce of the oblonged pigskin, all of the Bulldogs will admit to lots of fun on Friday nights. Highlights of the sea¬ son include a last second touchdown to the AAA opponent Prince George and the unforgettable homecoming victory. A Todd Gillis to Kelvin Mason to Terry Crayton pass lateral (Flea Flicker) pro¬ duced a 56 yard touchdown and a 27- 20 victory over Smithfield. Arch-rival Park View was another victim of a Todd Gillis to Kelvin Mason scoring toss, this time a 38-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to produce a 6-0 victory. Low points of the season were losses to Southside District opponents Notto¬ way 27-7 and Greensville 26-6, but the final scores were not indicative of the Bulldogs’ effort, as a different bounce of the ball could have meant a victory rather than a defeat. Halfback Kevin Taylor (22) takes a pitch-out from Todd Gillis (11) for an end sweep in 6-0 victory over Park View. ► 24 Football
