Kubs Beat Bulldogs In First Home Game For Dayton

DAYTON - The Dayton Bulldogs lost their season opener against Stanfield tonight 7 - 48, but the home team knew they had a tough opponent in a team that's destined to top their league this fall.

Despite a game-opening running touchdown by Josh Frame in the first quarter, the Stanfield Tigers drilled through the Bulldogs' defense for much of the game until the Dayton boys finally caught the spirit and stopped them in their tracks.

By then, however, the Tigers had scored seven touchdowns due in part to an uncomfortable Bulldogs defense and a handful of turnovers.

Had the entire game been limited to the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs would have tied the game. Dayton finally stopped the Tigers' running and passing games and came close to making another touchdown before conceding the football to Stanfield on downs.
