POLAND, OH-  As the mid-season mark approaches, the Poland Seminary High School Bulldogs are preparing for what could be their most challenging game yet. The Bulldogs are set to face off against the undefeated Hubbard team in a high-stakes match that has the community buzzing with excitement.

In a recent episode of the Poland Bulldog Show, Coach Ryan Williams shared his extensive journey in coaching, having started in 1992 at Crestview High School before making significant stops at Cardinal Mooney and Austin Town Fitch. His experience, combined with his passion for mentoring young athletes, has cemented his status as a cornerstone of Poland Seminary’s coaching staff.

Despite a recent nail-biting loss to Canfield, where Poland fought back from a two-touchdown deficit only to fall short by a yard on a crucial fourth down, Coach Williams remains optimistic. “Our guys battled. I mean, we played hard. We didn’t play real smart sometimes, and that’s frustrating, but we were playing our hardest as time ran out. We were real proud of our guys that way,” Williams said.

Attention now shifts to Hubbard, a team Williams describes as balanced and confident. “They’ve done a nice job of matching personnel with what they’re asking them to do. They’ve got a couple of nice wideouts, a big physical back, and a quarterback who is a dual threat,” he noted. With Poland also boasting dual-threat quarterbacks, the upcoming game promises to be a fiercely competitive affair.

As anticipation builds, there’s no denying the excitement surrounding this mid-season clash. With homecoming festivities adding to the electric atmosphere, Coach Williams and his team are eager to showcase their perseverance and tactical prowess on the home field.

The Poland Bulldogs are ready to prove that they can bounce back stronger, embracing the challenge that comes with facing an undefeated team. As Williams aptly put it, “The most important game of the season is the next one.”

Kickoff is set for 7:00 pm at Poland Seminary High School’s home field. Fans are encouraged to show up in strong support as the Bulldogs look to make this a memorable contest.
