With a big, strong offensive line and a pair of experienced backs, the Wylie football team expected its running game to be a strength in 2021.

Last week, in a 30-22 win over Lubbock Monterey, the Bulldogs saw it in all its glory.

Led by senior backs Trey Gomez and Josh Carpenter, who both topped the 100-yard mark in that victory, WHS rushed for 265 yards as a team against the Plainsmen. And after catching a glimpse of just how dominant the Bulldog ground attack can be, that duo is ready to make a habit out of pounding opposing defenses into submission.
