Calder led the offense with 110 yards passing and 38 yards rushing. Walton managed 62 yards on the ground on 18 carries. On defense, Jontae Hammond led with six tackles and three assists. Kenny Peterman and Tevin Davis each had four tack les. Walker said the team will be practicing hard this week getting ready to face Maynard Jackson at home on Friday. Maynard Jackson, also the Jaguars, are 2-4 in region play, but after being humiliated by the Spalding Jags, you can bet the Bulldogs are not taking anything for granted. In order to have a chance at the playoffs, the Bulldogs must first beat the Maynard Jackson Jaguars Friday night. But, the Bulldogs hopes for postseason play also lies in the hands of the Wolfpack. If Woodland beats Woodward on Friday night then Woodward and Mary Persons will be tied for 3rd place in region 4AAA. Since the Bulldogs beat the War Eagles earlier this sea son, MP will get the play off spot as the third seed and will play the second place region finisher in 2AAA (likely Cairo) in round one. Jackson already has a lock on first place. The Red Devils play the Spalding Jaguars on Red Devil Hill Friday night. It is very unlikely the Jaguars will win this one. Walker says he has been very proud of this year's team so far. "We've gone a lot farther and won more than some thought we would," said Walker. "We've had a lot of injuries and have had to play a lot of young guys. They've always fought hard and have not given up. I think they've done pretty good, consid ering. This is a good group of kids. I really would like to see them make it to the playoffs." Senior Ben Pierson, who played center up until two weeks ago when a car accident side lined him, says he will be back this week. "I am supposed to get cleared on Tuesday," said Pierson. "I can't wait. I am healing faster than they thought. I am ready to play senior night." Walker is optimistic that Pierson amy be able to return, but says he has been pleased with sophomore Jordan Whitehead who was thrust into the center position. "He's [Whitehead] has done a pretty good job," said Walker. "He handled the pressure well."
