The DeSoto County Bulldogs won the “bookends” of their varsity basketball game against North Port 39-27, but the middle two periods put them into too deep of a hole to dig their way out of. The Bulldogs lost their first home game of the season 69-61 to even their record at 1-1.
Trailing by 15 going into the final period, DeSoto County coach Richard Koonce told the team, “You can’t get all 15 points in one shot — work it in and we’ll get it.”
