These teams know each other too well. If the Bulldogs were to beat the Bears, it would make the Potomac team’s season (8-4). The home team denied the visitors, gradually building on a one goal margin and blanking their opponents while scoring four goals in the last period.

The first goal was scored by Bullis at 11:48 for their last lead of the dame. Sean O’Brien showed his shooting prowess with a turnaround shot which caught the corner @5:35. As the clock wound down, Sam Lynch ran down the alley and when he hit the 15 yard line, he nailed a goal @ 0:48.6

The visitors tied Landon with goals at 4:49 (an EMO goal) and then at 2:43.

Sean had his head up and made an exceptional cross crease pass to Colton Rupp @ 1:23 to resume the Bears’ advantage.

HALFTIME BEARS 4 BULLDOGS 3

Minutes 25-36 of the game were primarily defensive in mode. There were several occasions in which the Bullis team could have reasserted themselves but Hunter Sells denied these Bulldog opportunities.

Landon added to its advantage with a Sean to Sam goal @ 10:18; this one tested Sam’s range, hitting beyond the10 yard distance,

The Bulldogs added a goal at 6:39.

END OF 3RD QUARTER BEARS 5 BULLDOGS 4

Maybe it was Landon’s greater depth or superior coaching, but the last twelve minutes was all Bear time.

Colton bull dodged (a verb usually used for large middies or attackmen, but so appropriate here as, at least one blue pole was attempting to restrain #4) through Bulldog his defender and deposited a goal @ 9:23.

Having drawn the Bullis attention, Colton again drove to the goal and tempting a second Bulldog to charge towards him; with his head up Mr. Rupp fed through the opponents’ phalanx of sticks and found Zac Buller who quick sticked for a goal @ 6:14. Not to be outdone, the younger Buller (Nate) added another Bear goal @ 3:26. Sam Offutt contributed another tally @ 1:28 showing his athleticism by scoring as he was falling to the ground.

Landon possessed the ball for the remainder of the game, frustrating their opponents into a double foul at 0:00.
