Friday Night Lights 🏈On Friday night, the Livonia Bulldogs hosted the Leroy Oatkan Knights in their last home game of the season. This game was also Senior night for all of those seniors playing in their last game at Saunders Field. The band provided for another festive and exciting atmosphere. The Bulldogs played hard and lost to a very talented Leroy team 42-21. Leroy got on the board first and then put up 2 more scores to take an early 21-0 lead before Livonia found the end-zone in the 2nd quarter. Jackson Trubia connected with Owen Wetterings for a 30 yard TD pass to cut into Leroy's lead at 21-7. A turnover late in the 2nd quarter gave Leroy good field position and they capitalized and scored to make it a 29-7 to take a half-time lead. The Bulldogs came out of halftime, looking to win the 2nd half which they did. After a 3rd quarter Leroy TD pushing Leroy's lead to 35 to 7, the boys came out swinging in the 4th quarter as Jackson Trubia once again connected with Owen Wetterings on a TD pass from 23 yards out. Leroy would counter with a score of its own in the 4th quarter before Livonia would finish out their scoring with AJ Peri who would run it in from 5 yards out to make the score 42-21. The Bulldogs would rely on some tough running from AJ Perri who finished with 58 yards in the game (All of which were on Livonia's last scoring drive). Levi Woolston connected on all 3 Point After Touchdown kicks in this game. Livonia was led offensively on this night by 3 seniors.

⚽Boys JV Soccer Season Wrap-up The Livonia JV Boys soccer team finished their season with a perfect 15-0 record. The Bulldogs had a 68-7 goal differential with 9 shutouts. Highlights of the year were headlined by three victories over Class A schools which included matches against tough HFL and Aquinas teams. The boys were resilient in never having to come from behind all season. Excellent season boys! Photos courtesy Faith Gates

⚽Girls JV Soccer Season Wrap-up The girls ended their season with resounding wins over several formidable opponents last week. On Wednesday, a strong defensive wall squelched the pressure of a speedy, high-powered HFL attack led by defenders, Maddie, Natalee, and Chloe. Ella continuously controlled the mid-field with calculated distribution of the ball and the Maxwell twins combined for the goals to secure the 2-0 victory. In their final game Friday, the girls faced another big challenge of the season but successfully shut out visiting Aquinas, 2-0. Sunny tallied the two goals with tenacious crashing of the net and the team's constant pressure resulted in 10 corner kicks in the game. Over the season, this team worked very hard at learning the concepts of soccer while improving on their individual skills. They willingly took risks to improve their own game as well as their play as a team. Their final team record was 14-0-2. The overall goal differential speaks to the balanced effort of both the defense and the offense with the team giving up a mere 3 goals on the season which included a penalty kick and a direct kick score, and tallying as a team, an impressive 75 goals. The team demonstrated patience and great sportsmanship in games where they dominated their opponent. Coach Wood is very proud of this team and their growth this year! The team would like to thank Mr. Kress and Mrs. Schubert as well as the girls soccer program coaching staff: Coaches, Bugbee, English, and Linsner for their support and work in the program this year.
