The Galena Bulldogs are ready to grow from last season’s success and make a playoff run this year. Head
coach Jacoby Martin, who is in his eleventh year leading the program, is ready to see how his squad performs on the field. “We are excited about the season and to see the kids compete for one another,”
he said. “The kids have been working hard and have made some big strides. We are anxious to see the kids step up and build off our season last year. The offense will be led by quarterback Chase Cottrell
(5-10, 150, Sr.). He is a smart player who loves the game of football and will do a solid job of getting his team to the endzone. He will be protected by a host of linemen, including Brayden Buckaloo (6-4, 270, Sr.), Peyton Fields (5-10, 240, Jr.), and Colt McQuillan (5-9, 180, So.). These three will be anchors
on the offensive line and will work to keep the defense out of the backfield. Running back
Evan Wittmyer (6-0, 190, Sr.) brings strength and agility to the position and will look to
find the open running lanes. On the defensive side of the ball, the Bulldogs will fly to the ball and try to keep the opponents’ big plays to a minimum. Buckaloo and Fields will wreak havoc on their opponents from the defensive line position. They will do what they can to get into the backfield and disrupt
the plays. At linebacker, Wittmyer and McQuillan will be ready to attack the run or the pass. Cottrell will
be patrolling the secondary at defensive back. He has a knack for breaking up passes. Assistant Coaches this season will be Cory Perry, JC Dawes, Zach Shockey, Randy Brooks, and Josh Geisel.
