The Bulldogs have raised the bar following their first state title victory in 2024, falling short by just four points last season against Worth County. Head coach Buddy Martin believes this opening game against the Class AAAA runners-up will serve as a valuable test for his team, given their familiarity and understanding of the opposition. Martin emphasized the program's ambition, stating that they aspire to reach the same heights as their opponents. With Week 1 featuring a playoff game at Memorial Stadium, the stage is set for an intense and pivotal contest between Toombs County and Benedictine.",
