-CROSS COUNTRY- /Mountain west classic/

The Mission Bulldogs competed at the Mountain West Classic Saturday, September 29, 2012 in Missoula, Montana.  The Bulldogs had 11 runners competing.  It was nice to run against teams from all over Montana, Idaho, and Washington.  The cross country team is eager to compete at the Arlee Cross Country Meet Thursday, October 4, 2012 in Arlee, Montana.  The girls run at 5:00 p.m. and the boys run at 5:30 p.m.

Mission versus Loyola recap

The solo bright spot on the day that ended in a 36 - 0 defeat was special teams.  The Loyola Rams had scored in every game on special teams except last Friday's. Also, the return of Nikko Alexander to long snapping duties increased the team's ability to defend a longer field.  Finally, the opening kickoff to Loyola ended in a forced fumble and fumble recovery by the Dawgs. The Dawgs look forward to going on the road to play Troy Friday night at 7:00 PM.

Mission versus Florence Football Recap

Friday night's game against a good Florence football team, ended with 44 - 20 loss.  The Falcons recovered two muffed punts within the Dawgs twenty yard line and scored on both possessions.  The second half saw the Bulldogs successfully move the ball and eventually score on two drives.  The game was a loss but the second half experience helped improve the team's overall football knowledge and experience.

Mission v Bigfork Volleyball

The lady Bulldogs improved their overall record to 7-3 last evening with a 3 game sweep of Bigfork.  The ladies struggled a bit in the game, but persistence paid off and we ended victorious.  Great job ladies...let's keep the winning streak going!

High School Football Game Venue Change

The Mission versus Florence high school football game has been moved to Plains.  The kickoff will still be at 7:00 P.M.  The travel bus will be leaving at 4:00 PM.

Volleyball v Ronan and Deerlodge Recap

The lady Bulldogs had a big week last week as they gained W's in their first two conference games.  The Bulldogs looked strong taking down Ronan in 3 and then faced Deerlodge on Thursday.  The Bulldogs won the first two games in the match but started to lose their rhythm and Deerlodge was able to make a run on us beating us in the next two games.  However, the Bulldogs fought hard (with a lot of encouragement from the crowd) and finished off the Lady Wardens in the 5th game.

This was a turning point for our girls as we have battled hard but lost 2 matches that went into 5 games.  For the girls to be able finish strong showed great Integrity and Determination.  Bravo girls!!

This week the Lady Bulldogs take on Loyola in a conference match Tuesday, September 17th and travel up to Bigfork on Thursday September 19th.

Thanks for everyone's support!

Mission @ Eureka

The Lady Bulldogs traveled to Eureka on Saturday, September 8th, to face the Lady Lions of Eureka.  We came out strong and won our first two games of the match.  Halfway through the third game, Eureka started to make a comeback and their experience came into effect.  The Lions (who have 11 seniors on their Varsity Squad) came together and overtook us in the last three games.

While it was a tough loss, some great things were happening on the court.  The Bulldogs had 14 blocks in the game, which is a team high for the season!  We have a lot of season left to play, and great things will come!

Mission v Charlo

Last night's match between the Mission Lady Bulldogs and the Charlo Lady Vikings was well fought by our ladies.  Unfortunately we ended up coming a little short in the end and were not able to fend of the Vikings.  The Vikings are a persistent team who moved around the court very well and their defense ended up beating the Bulldogs in the end.  There were some very promising actions shown by the Bulldogs on the court and all of our girls were playing their part.  This was a great match to watch and the support from the students at the game was fantastic.

Varsity Football Recap - Plains

The Mission High School bulldogs faced the Plains Horsemen.  Both teams battled hard for their respective hometowns and Mission was able to gain an advantage early and hold on for a 33-0 victory.  Every geared up member of the football team had an opportunity to see the field.  The three seniors on the squad did a great job of leading the team early and encouraging their replacements late in the game.  Congrats to the student athletes who were able to demonstrate integrity, achieve excellence, work hard, gain respect and share responsibility.  Go DAWGS!
