Bulldogs Dictate, Dominate Vipers in Playoff Win
Overcast skies bring a much needed
respite from the unusually high temperatures for the 2015 Pacific
Football League season. The Bellingham Bulldogs play host to the
Clark Country Vipers of Vancouver, Wash. Kicking off the first round
of the PFL playoffs on a special cancer awareness night. The Bulldogs
began sluggish after the long vacation between games but with two big
plays from wide receiver Kyle Redmond, Bellingham found the red zone
and shook off the rust. The Vipers had no answers for the dominating
Bulldogs defensive line. Unable to make significant yards Clark
County would not score in the first half. Bellingham would find the
end zone five times, putting up a score of 42-0 at halftime. The
second half saw the Bulldogs pull their starters and gave the Vipers
a chance to save some pride. Finding their stride Clark County scored
three times in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs move on to the next
round of the playoffs. Final score: 42-24. Click here to view photos

Bellingham shocked by Portland
Songbirds
and the sound of football fill the air at the beautiful sun-soaked
Lummi School Field as the Bellingham Bulldogs welcome the visiting
Portland Raiders Saturday, June 6th.
The Raiders use their air attack to move quickly into the red zone.
Taking advantage of the pace, Portland is first to score. A defensive
turnover gives the Raiders a shortened field. They do not waste the
opportunity and score another touchdown in the first quarter. The
Dogs tried to establish a ground attack. After a huge defensive
penalty Cody Oakes finds Tobi Seim in the end zone. Bellingham
narrows the lead.
The
Bulldogs start the second quarter with a long strike to wide receiver
Kyle Redmond. A Raiders' penalty puts Bellingham in the red zone
giving running back Donovan Dunmore an opportunity to punch it in
from the three-yard line, tying the game. Portland does not flinch as
they drive down field and score on a quick seam route. Portland
catches the Bulldogs off guard and throws deep after a defensive
turnover, scoring another touchdown from forty-five yards out and
increasing their lead before halftime.
The
second half starts hot for Bellingham as they march down field using
their running game. The Bulldogs finish the drive off with a bullet
from Oakes to Redmond into the end zone. Bellingham's defense stops
the Raiders and the Bulldogs take advantage. Feeding the ball to
Redmond on three straight plays, Bellingham moves into the red zone
where Oakes is able to cap the drive with another touchdown. The game
is tied heading into the fourth quarter.
The
Raiders waste no time in scoring again after a few long throws down
field, Portland pulls out ahead. The Bulldogs claw back. Oakes finds
wide receiver Douglas Miller for a big gain. The addition of a
defensive penalty puts Bellingham in the red zone. Oakes finishes off
the drive with a fifteen yard touchdown scramble. The Bulldogs
defense is lifted by an interception from Seim and Bellingham uses
Dunmore again to pound the rock. But the drive stalls. Bellingham and
Portland trade possessions with neither team getting the advantage.
As two minutes remain on the clock the Bulldogs face a fourth and
long. Oakes finds tight end Jaa Gordon over the middle for a first
down. With under a minute to go Bellingham attempts a field goal but
it sails left.
Portland
gets the advantage of first possession in overtime and they do not
hesitate scoring one more touchdown. The Raiders end the Bulldogs
chances at a win with an interception. Final score: 35-42. Click here

Bulldogs stumble at home against the Stallions
Sun parts the gloom of overcast skies
illuminating Civic Field for a bout between two Pacific Football
League heavy-weights Saturday, May 16th. The Bellingham Bulldogs
tried to makeup for their first 2015 home loss with a victory over
the visiting Stallions from Seattle. The Stallions were out the gate
early, taking the opening kickoff to the house and stunning the
Bellingham crowd. The Bulldogs would not give up so easily. Moving
the ball down-field with a balanced ground and air attack Bellingham
positioned themselves in the red zone for a touchdown. But it was not
without cost. Several miscues lead to the use of all three of their
first half timeouts. The Bulldogs scored two more touchdowns, relying
on their defense for quick three-and-outs. However Seattle rallied
and scored three unanswered touchdowns to head into half-time with
the lead. The second half was dismal for the Bulldogs as injuries to
key players and unfortunate officiating killed all momentum in
Bellingham's favor. The Stallions kept their foot down, scoring three
more times they dominated play an field and handed the Bulldogs their
second home loss of the season. Final score 21-45. Click here to view more photos from the game.

Bellingham gets Shutout at Home
An emotional first home game of the
2015 Pacific Football League season was bitter-sweet as the South
Lane Buzzards handed the Bellingham Bulldogs their first loss on a
sun-soaked Civic Field Saturday, May 2nd.
Hearts were heavy for the Bulldogs in
remembrance of two exceptional teammates and individuals that passed
away during the off-season. Far too young to leave this world, Sean
Hicks and Steve Faoro will be forever immortalized in the hearts of
their teammates, friends and loved ones.
The play on the field reflected the
melancholy moment as the Bulldogs struggled to gain any momentum. The
undermanned Buzzards attacked a sluggish Bulldogs team with a series
of read-option plays and short passing routes, keeping the chains
moving and Bellingham's offense off the field through most of the
first half. Early penalties, missed opportunities and poor execution
kept the Bulldogs from reaching the red-zone. Overall an aberration
from what Bulldog fans typically see on the field. However this loss
on this particular night may be the railing point Bellingham needs to
catapult them into the playoffs. Final score 0-32. Click here to view photos from the game.
