The Trenton Bulldog football team showed flashes of increased size and speed on Friday night, but did struggle with a number of fumbles, in an intra-squad scrimmage on the turf of C.F. Russell Stadium.

While all focus is on beating what is expected to be a young Brookfield team under a new coach next Friday night, Coach Hixson also is aiming for a Bulldog program that has hit recent struggles in the Grand River Conference to begin to turn C.F.

You can hear Trenton at Brookfield next Friday night, August 27th at 7 o’clock, with Tom Johnson on the call from historic Burlington Field, with “Football Frenzy” starting the night of football coverage at 5:30.  The station of broadcast will be officially announced early next week, as will the station of broadcast for the season debut of “Dawg Bites”, from Trenton Hy-Vee, on Thursday night, August 26th from 6 to 7 o’clock.  Technical issues could switch those broadcasts from their regular home of 101.7 FM KGOZ to 92.3 FM KTTN for the first week of the football season.
