The Flatonia Bulldogs aren’t going to the playoffs, but they played like they were Friday, rallying from a 22-point deficit and nearly beating undefeated Holland before falling 37-36.

A late two-point conversion try by Flatonia (5-5 overall, 2-4 in district) was stopped and that proved to be the game winner.

Kobe Burton scored three touchdowns for Flatonia and Keegan Green scored twice.
