On September 3rd, the home opener for the Lindsay Bulldogs versus the Clarkson Red Devils started well. John McPhillip’s kick off sailed into the end zone starting the season. For the first quarter, the Bulldog defense played well, not allowing Clarkson a first down, while the offense led by junior quarterback Trevor Lindhorst, moved the ball using a variety Lewiston running plays, finally scoring on a 2 yard plunge by Lindhorst. Leading by a score of 6-0, the defense again shut down the Red Devils as Klassen and Frisch dominated the line.

The tide turned on Lindsay’s next possession as the Red Devil’s Grant Bond intercepted a pass and ran it in for a touchdown. Kucera added the extra point. Once again the Bulldog defense held Clarkson. A booming punt trapped the Bulldogs within their own ten yard line and a penalty put them on their own two yard line. On the next play, the Bulldogs fumbled in the end zone with Clarkson recovering for a touchdown.
