Central defeated Woodland 39-7 on September 4th to improve to 2-0. Since then the year has been a tale of ups and downs—a blowout loss to Cass, a near-upset of then-ranked Kell, a disastrous collapse against North Atlanta and a chance to catch their breath against North Springs—but the Bulldogs will have taken a step back, no matter Friday’s result, from a 6-4 finish last season.
