CUSHING – A loss to the Cushing Bearkats on Friday night took the Colmesneil Bulldogs out of contention for the 2A Division II playoffs this season.

The Bulldogs battled out the final game of the regular season on the Bearkats’ home turf, J.F. Whitaker Stadium, and came up on the wrong end of a 40-14 final score. History did not exactly repeat itself, but the ‘Dogs did face the Bearkats in their last game of the season in 2020.

Cushing’s win secured them a spot in the fourth-seed of the playoffs. They will face the Evadale Rebels for the bi-district title. The Bulldogs end their season with some of their best numbers in years, with 6-4 overall and 2-4 in district.

The first half of the game was marked by a strong drive from the Cushing offense, which found the team scoring a couple of touchdowns to put them at 14-0 before halftime. The ‘Dogs were able to retaliate with two TDs of their own and tied the game 14-14 at the half.

The second half showcased Cushing’s offensive drive, as they were able to take a 20-14 lead with two minutes remaining in the third quarter after a turnover.

With under a minute left in the third, Cushing scored again on a rushing TD, and went into the fourth 26-14.
