First-year Pike County coach Mark Hurt feels the Bulldogs are hitting their stride at the right time.
The Bulldogs have won six of their last seven games, including two straight state playoff games to reach Friday’s Class 3A state quarterfinals. Pike County hosts Mobile Christian in a third-round match-up at Bulldog Stadium in Brundidge.“We are still not 100 percent where we need to be, but we are making great improvements.”
Entering his first season at his alma mater, Hurt admitted he didn’t know what to expect of his new team, but has been pleased with the progress. The Bulldogs now turn their attention to Mobile Christian. The Leopards are officially 5-7 after having to forfeit four wins from early in the season. They are 8-3 on the field with two losses to out of state teams and two losses in overtime.
Mobile Christian enters the game with the No. 5 scoring defense in Class 3A, allowing only 13.1 points a game. Sterling Dixon, a 6-foot-3, 211-pound junior edge linebacker who is getting looks from Alabama, Auburn and LSU among others, spearheads the defensive unit. Offensively, the Leopards average 30.8 points a game, 18th best in 3A, just a spot behind Pike County’s 31.9 a game. Mobile Christian uses three different quarterbacks – Landon Snow and Miguel Camboia are the main QBs, though Patrick Sullivan Jr. comes in for wildcat-type plays. Aaron Rogers and Sullivan are top receiving targets. Devin Harris is the main running threat.
