CEDARTOWN — The Cedartown Bulldogs finished their regular season big winners over Chapel Hill, cementing their second place spot in Region 5-4A and will host their first playoff game since the early 2000’s.

The 9-1 Bulldogs (5-1 5-4A) finished off the Panthers in a huge second half with their 47-14 win heading into the playoffs with a big second half after what head coach Doyle Kelley said could have been a better first half.
