Wood, and freshman brother, Jess are two of the eight real family members playing on the current Panther playoff roster. Wood has been a standout on the hardwood in basketball, and baseball for the Panthers, garnering all-district honors in both sports last year, and basketball already again this season. The single by Wood could be the last Bullard at-bat at Panther Field for the senior, with neutral sites the usual for state baseball playoffs.
