Its good to be a bulldog. Especially this season as Bulldog athletics has exploded on the scene. Now they have athletes being recognized on a national level regularly!
Gracie Haneborg and Jaylan Ruffin were recognized by Maxpreps/United Soccer Coaches for their outstanding play the week of April 19-25th. They join Abby Orr who was selected earlier in the season.
Jaylan Ruffin put seven shots on goal that week and got five tallies while leading his team to a 3-o record including a big win over Lincoln East.
Gracie Haneborg put up impressive numbers over the week getting 10 goals (six coming in one game!) and helped her squad go 2-1. That got the Bulldogs set to host the A-4 districts.
Here is the full list of players from Maxpreps/United Soccer coaches.
