Nothing finalized.

Huntington, WV in the Pike County Bowl will be a big time test

I heard Knoxville Catholic is interested in renewing and they will be loaded again

Johnson Central and Pikeville most likely will be on there

Lawrence County, Pike Central, and the new Floyd County school in the district.

The other 3 games are TBD... I know Harlan County is off and would presume NewCath will be off. The Cleveland team was an one year deal. Haven't heard about Cabell Midland

Hey EKU I would love to hear what you think about and except to see from the 2017 bulldogs. We are very excited about our new coach. We took our fare share of lumps this season but I think we did pretty good with what we were up against. A lot of people don't realiz how young and inexperienced we were in just about every position including head coach. With only 5 seniors this was probably the youngest Bulldog team I can remember, but loosing well over 30 seniors in two seasons will do that to you. Our head coach is very young as head coaches go in his first season ever as the head man. We have a lot of talent on this team but they were just to young and inexperienced. We were in every game this year except the Belfry and Race land games. We have some really talented kids coming up through the ranks in the feeder schools the next few years also. I think coach Short absolutely understands how to build a strong program and understands things like building up the youth and middle school programs. He was a part of some of the best teams in this school's history and learned from the best coaches in our history. Next year we return pretty much everything and with a season under their belts and a year bigger stronger and faster I think all that youth getting a full season of playing and starting will pay off the next 2 or 3 years. I honestly believe this program is heading for a run something like we saw from 1990 to about 2003. Before we went on that over a decade run a lot of people said it couldn't be done at Lawrence County, they said we were to small and not enough talent. Funny how when you get a passionate coach and staff who are serious about winning and the kids love to play for that talent comes crawling out the woodworks ain't it. A lot of people said the same thing right before current Cable Midland coach Luke Salmon's took over as our head coach and magically the talent appeared again. I am very excited about the near future of Bulldog football.
