UNDATED (WTVB) – The Centreville Bulldogs showed they had plenty of bite on Friday night as they defeated the Reading Rangers 32-14 in a M.H.S.A.A. Football Division Eight district title game.
The loss ended Reading’s hopes of winning a third straight Division Eight state title and snapped the Rangers 12-game post season winning streak.
The district football title was the first one ever for Centreville. Thanks to a reduced enrollment, the Bulldogs are competing this year in Division Eight after being in Division Seven during the last two years.
Centreville is 8-0 thanks to a defense that has allowed only 29 points this season and has recorded five shut outs.
