The Bellingham Bulldogs falter in their
first WWFA regular season home game against the Puallup Nation Kings
Saturday, May 21st at Civic Field. This was the Bulldogs
second match-up of the 2016 campaign against a WWFA team. Puallup,
2015 WWFA champions, would be prove to be the ultimate test for how
the Bulldogs measured up in their new league.
The Kings jumped out early, scoring 12
unanswered points on their first two possessions with two touchdowns.
Dominating the line of scrimmage, Puallup exacted their will with
both running and passing. But Bellingham would gather themselves and
quickly close the gap. Utilizing their still developing ground
attack, the Bulldogs bullied their way down-field. Taking the lead
just before halftime with two touchdowns.
Bellingham tacked on a field goal on
the opening possession of the second half. However Puallup would
prove to Bellingham why they are champion, scoring two more
touchdowns in third quarter. The Bulldogs defense rallied, stopping
the Kings twice in the red-zone, and scoring a touchdown off a
bizarre interception and fumble recovery combination play. But the
turnovers caused by miscues in the passing game spelled the end of a
Bulldogs comeback. Final score: 23-38. Click here to view photos from
