SPRINGFIELD, Mo--The Central Bulldogs are 3-6 on the season and Friday night faced 1-8 Belton in a Class 5 District 6 playoff game.
And Central trying to establish the run early, the handoff to Secoy Hodges comes left and then cuts it upfield, past the 50 yard line for a first and ten.
Later on that drive, Hodges again, this time he goes right, breaks a tackle, then comes back left, turns the corner and is dragged down at the one yard line.
It Central a few plays, but the Bulldogs would finally score, quarterback Thomas Sorg keeps and scores from a yard out it's 7-nothing Central.
Early second quarter, Belton's Caleb Chevalier boots this 25 yard field goal, it's 7-3.
And Central wins its first playoff game since 1986, 28-to-15.
