Bulldogs earn first win of the season

HAMPTON – Six weeks of football without a win, Hampton-Dumont waited out an hour-and-10-minute lightning delay to notch its first one, 14-0, over Forest City on Friday, Oct. 6.
A downpour before the game started at 6:30 p.m., a time moved up because of anticipated weather, left the field a quagmire and made footing iffy.
But, backed up to their end zone, the Bulldogs turned what was supposed to be a quarterback sneak by Hunter Sutter into what was called an official 98-yard sprint to the end zone to put H-D up for good.
“He’s good,” H-D head coach Dan Aalbers said. “We were pinned deep and called a quarterback sneak to see if we could get a few yards and set something up but he’s got that speed, split the linebackers and away he went.”
The full story appears in the Oct. 11 print and online editions of the Hampton Chronicle.
