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.
