Doug Dahms-Wilson

After coming up short against Manheim Central 24-21, the Bulldogs rolled over Penn Manor and McCaskey by a combined score of 99-18. Next up, Cedar Crest. Wilson head coach Doug Dahms explained how the Falcons were able to knock off Hempfield 20-13 last week. That victory by Cedar Crest helped Dahms to keep his team focused. Dahms said getting Jadyn Jones back was a huge boost. The 215-pound RB/LB is the Bulldogs’ leading rusher. Dahms told me that they’ve made things easier for the offensive line. Wilson piled up a season-high 367 yards on the ground against McCaskey. Dahms is pleased that his team has cut down on penalties. He’s also happy to have all of his starters back from injury. Dahms is in his 16th season as the Bulldogs’ head coach. He started as an assistant in West Lawn in 1976. I asked him if analytics will play a bigger role in high school football in the near future. Plus, find out if Dahms pays attention to the District 3 power rankings. The Bulldogs are on the bubble in Class 6A so every game is critical.
