HARTSHORNE — The Muldrow Bulldogs were rather impressive in their first scrimmage the season, which featured the Gore Pirates and the host Hartshorne Miners on Friday night.

All total, the Bulldogs scored seven times, with senior quarterback Teaguen Collins accounting for six touchdowns — two rushing and four passing as Collins connected with J’Vion Mays, Jermauree Palmer, Gabe Miller and D.J. Massey. DeShawn Willson rushed for the other TD for the ’Dogs.

“I’m proud of what we did and how we competed,” Muldrow coach Logan Coatney said. “We still a lot of work to do in order to get where we want to go. We executed our base plays very well, and we look forward to getting better. I’m very proud of our offensive line, and the way they finished plays. Teaguen commanded the offense well and looked comfortable. Defensively, I liked the way we rallied to the ball. We still a lot of growth to work toward as we prepare for Week 1 (the annual “Battle of 64” at Roland on Sept. 5). We ran the ball very well and our wide receivers ran good routes and made plays when opportunity allowed.”

The Bulldogs did compete in two live quarters, one against each team.

“It was more gamelike situation for us and was a good look for us,” Coatney said. “We did a lot of things very well, but still have plenty to work on.”

The Bulldogs will get one more preseason scrimmage as they will welcome the defending Class 2A, Division II state runner-up Vian Wolverines and the Panama Razorbacks for a three-way scrimmage beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday at Marty Rogers Field.

“I think we need to see continued growth,” Coatney said. “Though I felt like we had a really good outing at Hartshorne, there was still plenty there we need to work on to get more crisp at. I thought our young guys and older guys did a good job. Going into this scrimmage Thursday night with Vian and Panama, I just want to have our kids continue show growth, show their understanding of the schemes on both sides of the ball, go out and compete. The biggest thing is we want to stay healthy to get ready for Week 1.”

Coatney said the Bulldogs will be pretty basic on what they run on Thursday night, as it will pretty much be a carbon copy of what they did one Friday night at Hartshorne.

“It’s going to be a similar set-up,” he said. “We want to make sure we get all our young kids some reps. We’ll then have a live quarter/half with a 20-minute running clock with both Panama and Vian.”
