 As teams prepare for the kickoff of the high school football season, we preview each coverage area team. Tonight, we take you to Hazard in the Huddle with the Hazard Bulldogs. The Hazard Bulldogs are coming off a 12-3 season last year and came up just short of their goal losing to Beachwood in the state championship. This year, the Bulldogs face a tough schedule, but are looking to make it back to the title game and finish with a different outcome. Most of the guys that's going to play this year played last year. We played a lot of guys throughout the season, had a lot of depth, and our young guys got to play a lot. So, really, we don't have anybody that's new stepping up, going to be in there that you haven't seen before, just, you know, just guys stepping in and doing their job. Our schedule is probably the toughest schedule we've had since I've been here, and, you know, we're going to earn every game we go into. If we win, we're going to earn that. If we lose, we're going to get better because we're playing good teams. And all we want to do is go out there and play hard. Well, we're going to take it one game at a time, because last year, we were underestimated the whole lot. We tried to get by a week through a week, and hopefully we can do that again. I know that everything's honest this year. The pressure's honest because we made it to the state last year, but, you know, we're just going to take it week by week and go from there. And we're working out together. We spend a lot of time together on and off the field. Team chemistry is going to be real strong this year, and I got a lot of confidence how it will be this year. We're going to work so hard to get back there, and we're going to do good to make it there. And when we get there, we're not going to be focused on win-win-win. We've got to focus on what we've got to do right then and right now to make it happen, make a dream come true. Coach Dixon and his team understand what football means to the community and are looking forward to getting back under the lights on Fridays and proving that they have what it takes to bring the title home to hazard this year. There's a lot of pride here. There's people from all over the United States that tune in and listen to us play on Friday night. I hear from them all the time. And it's just a big deal here. People love bulldog football. Friday night, there's not a better place to be than right here. And I just really enjoy being a part of it. We're going to try and do exactly what we did last year, and we're just going to keep working and working, and we're going to make as far as we can. Don't forget, we will work our butts off for y'all, and y'all come support us, and we won't let you down. Reporting in Hazard, for EKB Sports, I'm Logan Sales.
