Outlook: The Fall River Bulldogs are the defending Northern Section Division V champions. Coach Todd Sloat believes his team will be about the same as last year. Nick Lakey is a DI recruit prospect as a fullback. He produced 1248 rushing yards last year. The Fall River Bulldogs have good team unity and a nice balance of players. They also only have about 20 players on the team, so any injuries could have a big impact.
