As the new football season approaches, Loyola Detroit Bulldogs are setting sights high with a promising team roster and a vibrant schedule. The team led by head coach Terrance Sims, who is entering his third season with a career record of 5-14, looks to build on the milestones achieved last season including a playoff appearance where they narrowly lost in overtime to Monroe St. Mary’s Catholic Central.
This season also marks significant events for Loyola Detroit, with Titan Field on the campus of the University of Detroit Mercy witnessing the homecoming and senior night on October 11 against Cranbrook Kingswood, which is expected to draw a huge crowd. This year celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Bulldogs' 2014 State Championship, adding a historic layer to the upcoming games.
The Bulldogs have a raft of key players returning, including Raylon Murry, Emauri Beard, Martez Davis, Eric Jones, and Donyale Sharp among others, promising robust gameplay and strategy. The school's administration and community express immense enthusiasm, highlighted in a statement saying, 'The community is excited about the new season and playing in the new division.' Every match at home, especially the milestone game on October 11, promises to be a memorable festivity, resonating well with the player's anticipations to partake in the Prep Bowl and district matches again.
Coach Sims emphasizes the ethos driving the team forward, stating, 'How we do anything is how we do everything,' pointing towards consistency and dedication as their mantra. The athletes are equally motivated, with one remarking, 'Looking forward to a chance to play in the Prep Bowl and playing in the districts again.'
With such a strategically important year ahead, the Loyola Detroit Bulldogs are keen to capitalize on their previous accomplishments and notch up significant achievements in the new football season.
