Coach Nourse's Thoughts
"I'll take it. It was ugliest one (win) I've ever received. We did everything that you tell your team to avoid doing in the first game. We did ever single possible thing and still ended up winning, so that's a good thing."

The game was the season opener for both teams. The Bulldogs improved to 1-0 and the 'Yotes fell to 0-1.

Up Next
