Here are some action shots from the Bulldogs' hard-fought battle on Friday.
Another great Batavia Football season came to a close on Friday. The Bulldogs battled the Downers Grove North Trojans on Friday at Batavia High School. In the end, the Trojans would emerge with a 38-26 victory. Although their playoff run ended too early, Batavia had an incredible regular-season run. They went undefeated for the second season in a row, even against top-ranked teams like Glenbard North. One things for sure, the Bulldogs give it their all. Thank you for supporting the football team and all Batavia athletics! A very special thanks goes to Debi Paradiso for these game photos. See coverage of the Bulldogs' 9-1 fall 2012 season.

Downers North drops a bombshell on the Class 7A state football playoffs with its 38-26 win over No. 1 seed Batavia Friday.
Batavia Football's second season came to a hard-fought and emotional conclusion on Friday night. The Bulldogs finished round 1 of the Class 7A football playoffs 38-26 behind Downers Grove North.

I don’t want them to have any regrets.” David Edward closed out previously undefeated Batavia after Brandon Salter placed Downers Grove North in an enviable position…

The Bulldogs defy the Lancers in their first-ever matchup on Friday to become playoff eligible. Here’s a recap.
Rain or shine, the Bulldogs battle through their football games. Nowhere was this more evident than in Friday’s soggy game, where the Dogs denied the Lancers a Senior Night victory with a 33-29 win. “I’m very proud of the kids,” said Dennis Piron, Batavia head football coach, in a phone interview during the ride back home. “Starting out the year 5-0 is a great feeling. It makes you playoff eligible … the season’s flying by.” The Bulldogs racked up five touchdowns and a couple extra points. Junior starting quarterback Micah Coffey connected with senior wide receiver Zach Strittmatter three times during the first half. Junior running back Anthony Thielk shone in the second half with two touchdown runs. Friday’s game was the Bulldogs' first …

Two points to make: 1. there were 2 Batavia Seniors who were suposedly acedemically inelligble for Friday night's play-off game and they were suited up and started. 2. Coach Piron did not play Seniors even when games were locked by a 35-0 score in the Senior game. I would say Coach Piron cursed this team to lose because of his own ego. I think Piron will not win another play-off game until he … more ›
