Bulldogs football had one of their best seasons in a while last year under head coach Chris Freytag. As Freytag went on to take another job non-football related, incoming head coach Brent Mascheck will take over the reigns of head football coach and athletic director. Freytag had tons to do with Flatonia’s success last year, but the Bulldogs breeding of solid athletes across the board will keep this team in respectable form this fall. 07/19/2023 23:00
