    The Whitefish Bulldog Football team hit the road, Friday, for a conference contest at Polson.

    Cole Moses ran for 3 touchdown's, Luke Dalen passed for a pair and the Bulldogs sunk the Pirates 41-6.

    Polson had the ball, 4th and 1, from the 2 yard line on their second possession of the game. A big moment early in the game. Whitefish's defense brought the house and force the Pirates QB, Case Cox, to throw it away, got tagged with an intentional grounding penalty and the Whitefish offense took over at their own 32 yard line.

    On just the Dawgs, 5th play of the game (2nd drive) they came out in I formation. Dalen handed the ball off to Cole Moses and Moses did what he does best, taking it to the house on a 68 yard scamper, to put Whitefish up 7-0.

    Moses would find the endzone again, in the 2nd quarter, this time a 10 yard run and the Dawgs were off and running.

    Whitefish scored 27 points in the 1st half (20 in the 2nd quarter) as Luke Dalen threw for 2 TD's in the 2nd. He found Jordan Harmon on a screen pass to make things 20-0 and then connected with Bear Barker right before halftime on a 5 yard TD pass, completing a fantastic 2-minute drill.

    Moses would find the goal line for the 3rd time, on the Dawgs first possession of the 3rd quarter, to put Whitefish up 34-0 early in the frame.

    After Polson scored late in the 3rd, a Case Cox to Holden Emerson 2 yard TD pass, the Dawgs responded.

    Jordan Harmon would score his 2nd TD of the game, this time a 5 yard run to seal it midway through the 4th quarter.

    Cole Moses finished the night running the ball 11 times for 121 yards and 3 TD's.

    Dalen was 13/22 passing for 168 yards and 2 TD's. Dalen also ran the ball 7 times for 91 yards.

    Jordan Harmon had 8 carries for 73 yards and a Rush TD.
