To say that the Central Bulldogs want to taste sweet football victory grossly undersells their hunger.

Central enters Thursday’s homecoming game against the Lighthouse Christian Chargers a winless 0-6. The inaugural meeting between Springfield’s oldest high school and Springfield’s team of homeschooled athletes has been named News-Leader Game of the Week presented by Murney Associates, Realtors.
The makeup of the Bulldogs’ roster is far different from the 2015 version that went 5-5 and ended a streak of losing seasons that dated back to 2003.
