(Marion) — Due to the threat of inclement weather, this week’s Marion Bulldog football game with Lulling has been moved from Friday night to Thursday night. The Bulldogs will host the Eagles on Thursday at Veterans Stadium in Marion.
Thursday’s contest is a virtual playoff game as the winner will move onto the Bi-District round next week while the loser will be left out of the playoffs. The winner of the Marion/Luling game will clinch third place in District 13-3A and play the winner of Friday’s Hondo/Poteet game out of District 14-3A in the playoffs next week.
