The Copperas Cove Bulldawgs came out of the gate firing in their last contest against a fierce competitor in Waco Midway. Unfortunately for the Dawgs, the Panthers finished on fire with five unanswered scores spanning 12 minutes and 32 seconds of game clock to open a 21-point lead on their way to a 48-24 win.
 
The Dawgs drew first blood with a 72-yard touchdown on a quarterback keeper by senior quarterback Caine Garner on the first play from scrimmage. 
 
Every answer that Midway had, Cove responded with one of their own, leading again at 10-7 after a 49-yard field goal by senior Seth Meeks, and at 17-14 after a 54-yard touchdown pass from Garner to senior Isaiah Mc-Griff.
