Bulldog head coach Sean Patrick picked up his first playoff win at Trion and was pleased with his team’s performance.

“It means that we can stay together for another week. I’m happy for our kids and our community. They deserve success and I’m happy that we were able to deliver,” Patrick said.

Up next is stop #12, Round 2 for the boys on the Redemption Tour.

Trion (10-1) will travel to Wilcox County on Friday, Nov. 19.
