Staff Report
COBLESKILL – Cool late summer temperatures and bright Friday night lights can only mean one thing: the return of Cobleskill-Richmondville Bulldogs Football tonight. The Bulldogs will host the Broadalbin-Perth Patriots this evening with kickoff slated for 7 PM.
Finishing last season 6-4, Bulldogs Head Coach Ed Hantho is confident heading into the 2024 campaign with thirteen Seniors and anticipatory buzz throughout Class C. Among those returning to the squad are Quarterback Caleb Hantho, Running Back Kyber Henry, and an experienced Offensive Line anchored by Jake LeSage and Tyler Smith.
“We are looking very good after two weeks of practice,” commented Mr. Hantho earlier this week to the Cobleskill Herald. He continued, “Our scrimmage on Saturday went very well against Gloversville and Central Valley Academy – We were dominant on both sides of the ball.”
Unlike the Fonda-Fultonville Braves and Schuylerville Black Horses, who both lost significant parts of their squads to graduation this summer, the Bulldogs are returning twenty of their twenty-two starters and stand as perhaps the most experienced team this season.
That experience will be tested early against a strong Patriots squad tonight.
“We expect a tough matchup because BP (Broadalbin-Perth) is a Class B school who we defeated two years ago and know they will be prepared to battle, but I also feel we are preparing very well and will have a terrific first game,” stated Mr. Hantho.
He added, “I really look forward to watching this team play on Friday night!”
