Bulldogs Slammin’ and Jammin’ In Undefeated Season

By Megan Hecox
If you don’t know who the Waldron Bulldogs are, your about to. The Sr High boys basketball team is livin’ in hoop heaven as they sit in the number 1 spot in their 3A-1 West Basketball Division. The Bulldogs are 6-0 in non-conference play so far this season. With conference play right around the corner starting in just 14 days, the boys are shooting for a record-breaking year.
The Bulldogs have earned their Undefeated status by delivering a full court press to teams in DeQueen, Mulberry, Magazine, Atkins, Horatio, and most recently Danville. The Sr High Bulldogs kicked off their week last night, facing Danville in the 5th Annual Bearcats Hoops Tournament in Booneville. Both boys and girls teams played in last nights tournament. The Lady Bulldogs fell to Danville 59-21 but are looking to turn that around when they head back to the Bearcat Tournament on Wednesday.
As for the boys’ team, they delivered nothin’ but net to the Little Johns in last nights 64-42 victory. Those numbers have added nicely to the stats that the Bulldogs already hold. Just 6 games into their season, the Bulldogs have already obtained a total of 425 points. The boys will be back for more in the Bearcat Tournament when they play again on Thursday.
Sr High Boys Head Coach Joshua Brown couldn’t be more proud of how his boys played against Danville in the tournament, saying “Our kids keep playing extremely hard on both ends of the floor. We shot the ball really well, forcing some turnovers and getting a lot of deflections. Our post defense was really good too.” Both Jr High and Sr High Bulldogs will play tonight against the Mena Bearcats. “We get back to work tonight when we play Mena. They are a very good team that likes to push the tempo. It should be a great basketball atmosphere!” said Coach Brown.
Tonight the Bulldogs get home court advantaged as they take on the Mena Bearcats starting at 430 pm. Be sure to pop in and show your support by cheering on the Bulldogs and watching as they take it to the hoop!
