Bulldog boys are district champs
The Bulldogs solidified another win against Botkins High School at Trotwood-Madison High School on Thursday, Oct. 27, 4–0, clinching the Division III district championship title.
Senior Eli Eyrich — currently ranked number one in the state for points scored and number two for goals netted this season, according to MaxPreps — brought in three goals, with Senior Henry Smith-Heston bringing in one. Senior goalkeeper Krishan Miller blocked four goal attempts from the opposing team, aiding the Bulldogs in racking up yet another win against a scoreless opponent.
After the win, the team returned to Yellow Springs to a waiting escort of YS Police Department and Miami Township Fire-Rescue vehicles, which led the team’s bus from Antioch Midwest to YS High School, where community members cheered them on.
