The Coahoma Bulldogett­es (13-3) are sitting pretty with an impressive record and showing of balance on the court to begin the season. In a tough district with a handful of worthy challenger­s for the crown, the Bulldogett­es have kept themselves in the mix as the season has gone along. Coahoma currently has three winning streaks of at least three games and have been aggressive on both sides of the ball. Following each loss, the Bulldogett­es have succeeded in not losing their energy or drive. Heading into the holiday break, the Bulldogett­es pulled off a big win over visiting district opponent Clyde. Coahoma is taking part in the Mary Tatum Tournament this weekend and will be looking to knock off the rust from their week off. Bulldogett­es head coach Jim Kinnear has put together a roster that fights until the final whistle each and every game and do a tremendous job at outworking their opponents in between the lines.

Following their disappoint­ing 4-23 record last season, the Bulldogett­es have turned the page to this season and are appearing as a real threat in District 5 and possibly as a contender in the entire 3A division.
