On Sept. 20, the Bulldogs hosted the Ganado Hornets in a game that would be dominated by the Bulldogs and allow them to give all members of the team playing time.
At the nine-minute mark of the first quarter, Bulldog Michael Romero would be the first to score on a 25-yard drive, followed by the point after kick by Caleb Duran. Both would then have drives that would end by fumbles, two for Ganado and one for Winslow. Winslow would block a punt and Bulldog Sammy Crisp would down the ball at the two-yard line and in the next play Bryce Williams would score on the two-yard carry, followed by Duran point after for a score of Winslow 14, Ganado 0.
Early in the second quarter Bulldog Joseph Guerrero would have a 72- yard run for the touchdown. No point after. Midway through the quarter, Romero would score from 11 yards out for the score, followed by the Duran point after. At the three-minute mark, Bulldog Kavion Bumgarner-Ulibarri would score on an 11-yard carry. No point after.
With less than a minute remaining in the half, Bulldog Tanner Short would recover a Ganado fumble and Gino Quinones would connect with Guerrero on a 47-yard pass play to end the half with a halftime score Winslow 33, Ganado 0.
The third quarter game would have a running clock and the Bulldogs would score their final touchdown with 17 seconds on the clock on a 6-yard run by Duran who would then kick the point after.
Late in the fourth quarter Duran would kick a field score for the Bulldogs final score of the evening.
With just a minute and half remaining in the game, Hornet Jayden Curtis would score on a pass from Quincy Peshtony to prevent the shut out.
Emanuel Bollin led the team in tackles with 7. Short and Romero each had 2 sacks. Aiden Martinez led the team in fumble recoveries with 2.
Next week Sept. 27, the Bulldogs will welcome returning alumni for homecoming and take on the Rattlers of Crismon High from Queen Creek at 7 p.m.
