The Winslow Bulldogs will have a season that will find them traveling out of town for all games including just a few home games due to a delay in the finishing of the new track at Nassar Stadium, which will have most home games held at alternative fields. They also have moved to the 3A North to make it a six-team conference for the next two years.

Early in the third quarter, Bulldog Guillermo Clark would block a punt to give the team excellent field position which would set up DeSpain to score two plays later on a six-yard run for the touchdown, with no point after.
