TAHOKA, Texas (KCBD) - The Tahoka Bulldogs are coming off a 7-5 season, which includes a 40-6 blowout of Colorado, followed by a 55-21 statement over Seymour. In district play, the Bulldogs had a 16-13 district win over Seagraves, 40-6 trouncing of Plains, and closed out the regular season with a 48-12 victory over Smyer.

Tahoka then entered the playoffs beating Eldorado 35-13, before falling to state-ranked Stratford in the second round. Fifth-year head coach Cody Bounds is approaching 2026 with the same goal in mind.

“Playoffs, playoffs, more playoffs. We want more goal balls!,” he said. “That’s our kids’ goal. We talk about it all the time, it’s something we don’t shy away from. We’re trying to build, continue to build on that for our community. It’s fun to see these guys come out and support us and travel with us and hopefully we can continue that tradition.”

Key returners include: WR Hurley Liendo, RB Uzziah Martinez, LB Josiah Qinonez, LB Remington Stone, and DL Caleb Watt.
