While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 238th, while the Hawks are ranked 34th).
Meanwhile, East Ridge was able to grind out a solid victory over South Lake on Tuesday, taking the game 14-6.
