Football season is back in session for many high schools across the country, and our favorite Florida champions kicked off their home opener on Friday with a win. The Mount Dora Christian Academy Bulldogs shut down their opponents, the Legacy Charter Eagles, in a 36-0 game. While the Bulldogs had several players on both offense and defense that had the opportunity to shine, the Eagles earned no touchdowns, passing yards, or rushing yards throughout the four quarters.
Running back Tyler Allen was part of the all-star offense Friday night and was named the player of the game after multiple long-distance runs and a 60-yard touchdown run that secured their win and reinforced their powerhouse status for the 2018 season. The team suffered no turnovers, fumbles, or interceptions.
This season will be the team’s second year playing in their newly built stadium that was finished just in time for the fall 2017 season. Each aspect of the stadium was meticulously designed for the players and fans, including the synthetic turf field from Act Global. The field was constructed with a specialized drainage system underneath the artificial grass to keep the surface dry and play-ready despite the chronic climactic rain. This helps ensure fewer canceled games from weather and helps bring community members together under the Friday night lights and around the beautiful turf field that is completed with a large bulldog logo in the enter.
Congrats to the Bulldogs on their first win of the season, and we hope to see the team go undefeated once again!
