The Bulldgos’ Tell Hawk (35) is looking for the foul on this jump shot against Cedaredge’s Kyle Ward last Tuesday (Feb. 7). Hawk finished with 10 points in the game and his Bulldogs defeated Cedaredge 63-51.

While their standings going into playoffs could depend on the outcome of this Thursday's game between Olathe and Gunnison, a win over Olathe Tuesday would leave them in third place in the district. If so, they will have to travel to top-ranked Aspen next Wednesday. A loss would likely mean a pigtail game against Cedaredge next Monday, and a road trip on Wednesday.

Under either scenario the Bulldogs will have to play tough to remain in the playoffs. They are now 9-8 overall and 6-6 in league play after a 66-42 loss on Feb. 9 at Gunnison. Gunnison came out with five trey to take an early 18-point lead over the visiting Bulldogs, "and we just never could catch up," said head coach Kyle Crowder. Junior Cody Bartlett missed the game due to an illness and three of the starters were sick. All in all, said Crowder, "It wasn't a good week."
