Coach Mark Stroud says it was a success. Audio The Bulldogs are planning to throw more next season and wide receivers (pictured left) T.J. Smarts and Ryan Morley talk about their position.  Audio     Bulldog guards make it happen  In Toombs County's wing offense the guards play an important role in the Bulldog's success in running the football. You don't have to be big to be a Bulldog guard. One of the best pairs from the past was Teddy Copeland and Ryan Wilkes.

Halfback Britt Brannon says, "I was a little nervous at the beginning, but now everything is OK. I basically know everybody and everything."
