Dalton dropped their record down to 16-7 on Friday, which also ended the team's three-game streak of wins on the road. They fell 6-3 to the Norwayne Bobcats. The Bulldogs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Bobcats apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2024.
