The Bullard junior varsity football team lost a competitive game to the Chapel Hill Bulldogs 20-12 Thursday night at Bulldog Stadium.

The Panthers struggled to get the offense going with untimely errors in the first half.

"Turnovers and missed blocking assignments led to the Panthers woes," said Coach Billy Holcomb.

Making adjustments at halftime the Panther offense came out, moved the ball and scored on a 60 yard run by Dejuan Shelton though the two point conversation was no good.

Later in the third quarter Shelton had another run of 68 yards called back due to a penalty.
