The Dogs underestimated Fort Myers High School last Thursday.
Players and coaches were confident about winning. They watched film over and over, day after day, stating, “We got this game.”
Unfortunately, it did not happen that way. They were defeated 43-7 and were left with a record of 3-1. The next day, players were very upset and talked very little about the game.
They failed to keep their undefeated record. Last week, my blog’s title was “Is it luck or talent?” It is too early to know, but time will tell.
Baker High School has many important games coming up and one of them is against Gateway Charter School, which will be a pretty fair match. Both teams are young and the game could go either way.

Is it luck or talent?(MI)
The undefeated Bulldogs gained a new record of 3-0 Friday night after they beat Estero High School, also known as the Wildcats.
The Bulldogs were not worried at all. Coaches were confident last week during football meetings and practices, as they knew that Estero High School had a record of 0-2.
Coaches and players guaranteed a win last week when talking to peers.
Estero High School has always been ranked in the top five in the district. However, the Wildcats have not been the same after South Fort Myers High School opened two years ago. Most of the talent Estero High School counted on has moved to South Fort Myers to be part of the Wolfpacks.
The challenge will come next week when the Bulldogs have to play Fort Myers High School. Baker High School is going to have to practice ten times harder in order to have a winning chance next week.
Fort Myers High School is not an easy team to beat. They have years of experience, talent and confidence. I believe if Baker High School works hard and limits its mistakes, they will have a chance to win and break a new record.

Who let the dogs out?
When it came to football, Ida S. Baker High School, also known as the Bulldogs, has been the laughing stock of many high school teams for the past three years.
In 2006, they had a final record of 0-10, vanishing any hope for a respectable place in their division. Almost every team knew that they did not have to worry about much competition when it came to the Bulldogs. Moreover, a quick defeat was certain every time Baker High School was mentioned. By now, two teams had already under estimated them.
East Lee and Riverdale High School thought that they were going to beat the Bulldogs. However, the evenings of these opponents were ruined, especially those nights when Baker annihilated East Lee High School and Riverdale High School. The final score was 42-0 against East Lee High School and 31-14 against Riverdale High School. Furthermore, 2-0 is a very good record to start the season with.
The coaches of Baker High School have been very patient in the past years. It is now that they are seeing the results of their hard work and dedication.
Baker High School has a tough schedule coming up. They have eight more games left. Hopefully, other teams realize that Baker High School has matured and that it counts with 12 seniors in the team.
They will not be easily beat this year and they will leave a print.
