The Copperas Cove Bulldawgs kept themselves in the District 12-6A playoff chase with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over the Belton Tigers Tuesday night at Bulldawg Stadium and the Lady Dawgs still sit in second despite a loss to the undefeated Belton Lady Tigers.
Trailing 1-0 at the halftime break, the Bulldawgs rallied with a goal on a header by Ryan Hicks on the assist by Justin Crook that tied the game at 1-all before a solo goal by Gabriel Davis with 17 seconds remaining earned the win for the Bulldawgs and moved them into the hunt for one of the four playoff spots coming from 12-6A.
