MULDROW - The Muldrow Bulldogs secured their first district win of the season on Friday night, scoring four second-half touchdowns in a 32-21 victory over Fort Gibson.

Justin Shofner’s 8-yard run and Justin Green’s point-after kick pulled the Bulldogs even at 14-14 in the third quarter.

Dillon Oden added a 10-yard TD run and caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Trevon Fowler to extend the Muldrow lead to 26-21.

Shofner then sealed the win for Muldrow in the fourth period with his second touchdown run of the night, a 28-yarder.

Shofner was the game’s leading rusher with 31 carries for 173 yards, while Oden chipped in 38 yards on 11 attempts.

Fowler completed 10 of 23 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns. The first scoring strike was a 10-yard pass to Donathan Caudill that gave Muldrow a 7-0 edge in the first quarter.

Caudill caught six passes for 86 yards in the win, while Tanner Ryan had two catches for 36 yards and Oden two for 42.

Oden also made 11 tackles on defense for Muldrow. Brandon Martin had nine tackles and a fumble recovery and Matt Mauldin was in on seven tackles. The Bulldogs also got interceptions by Caudill and Joe Dan Shofner.

The victory improved Muldrow’s record to 4-4 overall and 1-4 in District 4A-4. Fort Gibson, which got a pair of touchdown runs from Gannon Whitely, dropped to 3-5 and 1-4.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
