Congratulations Chamblee Football!
|
Congrats to the Bulldogs on their thrilling 19-12 season opening victory over Druid Hills High School last Friday! The defense played outstanding as they repelled Druid Hills' offense numerous times in the first half, and then kept them pinned deep in their own territory throughout the second. It looked like overtime until Jansen King returned an interception for a touchdown with 6 seconds remaining for the final score!
Don't miss our next game vs Dunwoody High School on Friday, September 4 at North DeKalb Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30, student admission is $5, adults are $7. Go Bulldogs!
