The Bulldogs took three out of five as a team at the grueling Crossroads Duals in Cameron on Saturday.

In team scores Mexico opened the long day beating Odessa 41-30. Chillicothe edged the Bulldogs in the second dual, 40-38. Not presenting opposition in the 106, 113 and 160 weight classes proved to be the difference.
