West Zone Championship The 1981 football season held great expectations for the Miles Bulldogs. With several starters and lettermen returning, the Bulldogs had a team goal of winning the 7A District Championship. After strong showings in the two pre-season scrimmages against Rocksprings and Blanket, the team of Bulldogs began the regular season with two sound victories over Water Valley and Loraine. Sterling City gave the Bulldogs their first loss in a hard fought battle. Miles rebounded by defeating a strong Garden City team. In the last non- district game, Roby beat Miles in a mistake-filled game. The Bulldogs began district play by shutting out their first three opponents, which included a 8-0 defeat of Santa Anna in a hard played defensive game. In an offensive game Miles defeated their arch rival, the Bronte Longhorns, by the score of 26-19. In the showdown for the West Zone Championship, the men from Miles defeated Eden 22-6 in one of their best played games of the season. This victory earned Miles the right to play Gorman for the coveted 7A District Championship. The Bulldogs fell short of their goal by losing to Gorman in the game played at Brownwood. While the Miles Bulldogs did not attain their team goal, the 1981 season holds so many memories. The team finished with a season record of 8-3 and placed several players on the District 7A West Zone All-District team fpictured belowl.
