EDITOR’S NOTE: ETBlitz.com photographer and Kilgore ISD teacher Dennis Jacobs has been roaming the sidelines for well over 14 years, most of that spending time shooting Kilgore High School football photos for his friend, Mitch Lucas. Well, here’s some of the photos Dennis captured Friday night from the Bulldogs’ 20-15 win over the “other” Bulldogs from Carthage, at Carthage ISD Stadium. It was Kilgore’s first road win over Carthage since 2003, the first win ever over Carthage since that particular stadium opened, and the first regular season home loss for Carthage to ANY team since September 2016. Here’s the gallery. Hope y’all like it.

Kilgore took over, and was able to run the clock out for a 20-15 win. Sanders is a verbal commitment to Michigan.
