BHP made the relatively short bus ride up to Pendleton last Friday night for their third consecutive road game this season. BHP was able to take care of business and come away with a 42-21 win over the Bulldogs.
From the Bulldogs to the Wildcats. BHP will host Seneca for their first home game of the season this Friday night.
Week 5 Preview
BHP will look to close out their 2019 non-conference slate with a win over Seneca. Seneca comes into this matchup 0-4. However, Seneca’s opponents have a combined 15-3 record on the season. Last season Seneca came into the game with a 1-3 record and kept the Bears in check, limiting BHP to only 28 points.
BHP will look to lean against the running attack they have established thus far this season. With the emergence of a deep play action passing game, BHP looks to dominate on the offensive side of the ball; if they can limit penalties and turnovers.
