GALLATIN SETS SIGHTS ON CONFERENCE TITLE
T
he Gallatin Bulldogs were aiming high for the 2021 season as soon as the 2020 campaign came to a close. After all, the Bulldogs played out the previous season with one of the youngest rosters in the Grand River Conference. Nearly everyone was coming back. But then quarterback Brinley Vandiver — a two year starter entering his senior season — moved out of the district leaving Gallatin
with a pretty glaring hole at one of the most important positions on the field. It’s a big loss, there isn’t really any other way to paint the picture, but head coach Patrick Treece isn’t backing down his aspirations for the upcoming season. Gallatin still fully believes to be contending for the Grand River Conference championship this season. Last season saw Gallatin regress from Grand River Confer-
ence tri-champions in 2019 to a 43 conference record and a 5-5 overall mark. The last loss, however, was a forfeit loss to Hamilton in the district tournament after COVID-19 quarantines knocked the Bulldogs out of postseason competition. Gallatin was replacing a lot of pieces that year, however, and the players who will take the field this season will be a much more experienced group as a result — for the most part.
