Game Preview: Sandpoint vs Lake City

Friday, October 3 • War Memorial Field • Sandpoint, ID

It’s Homecoming Night in Sandpoint as the Bulldogs return to War Memorial Field to take on the Lake City Timberwolves in what promises to be an electric atmosphere under the lights. After starting the season 5–0, the Bulldogs are hungry to get back in the win column and remind everyone why they’ve been one of North Idaho’s most exciting teams this fall.

🔴 Bulldogs Looking to Rebound

Sandpoint comes into tonight’s matchup motivated and focused. Last week’s road loss to Coeur d’Alene served as a reality check, but this team has shown resilience all season long. With a strong senior class leading the way, the Bulldogs are determined to bounce back in front of their home crowd.

Quarterback Braden Buckhout will look to get the offense rolling early, spreading the ball to a talented group of receivers including Maverick Gomez and Eli Taylor, who continues to emerge as a reliable target. Expect Sandpoint’s offensive line to set the tone, giving the Bulldogs a chance to establish rhythm and control the game.

🐺 Timberwolves Come to Town

Lake City makes the trip north looking to play spoiler on Homecoming night. The Timberwolves are always a tough opponent, bringing athleticism and physicality on both sides of the ball. Sandpoint’s defense will be tested, but after a week of fine-tuning and adjustments, look for a sharper, more disciplined unit to take the field.

⚡ Keys to the Game

• Start Fast – Set the tempo early and get the crowd roaring.

• Play Clean Football – Limit turnovers and penalties to keep momentum on Sandpoint’s side.
