Bullis wins IAC wrestling title; Mount Vernon exchange student embraces gymnastics

Washington Post04-02-2025
Bullis Coach Drew Robertson knew that it'd be hard to build up the Bulldogs wrestling program when he took the job in 2022.
The team had only six wrestlers at the end of his first season. Last year, that number grew to eight.
Last Saturday, the Bulldogs completed their turnaround. Bullis (203) claimed the Interstate Athletic Conference wrestling championship ahead of second-place Landon (188.5). It is the Bulldogs' first conference title since 2020 and the program's 19th.

Steve Spurrier takes shot at Stetson Bennett

Former Georgia Bulldog Stetson Bennett is one of the most memorable Bulldogs of all time. As the quarterback of Georgia's back-to-back national champion squads in 2021 and 2022, Bennett's name will be forever be among the greats in Georgia history. However, former Florida Gators head coach Steve Spurrier doubts Bennett's impact on the championship winning teams. When discussing about the impact of quarterbacks on championship-winning teams, he had this to say on "Another Dooley Noted Podcast", hosted by Pat Dooley. 'I think there's two areas that are, probably, going to determine the best teams,' Spurrier said. 'Obviously, coaching is important. And then special players. It could be the quarterback but it could be other guys. Georgia won two national championships with Stetson Bennett. So, the quarterback, he needs to be a good player but he doesn't have to be one of those guys that has to throw for 300 yards every game.' It's a strange bit of criticism from Spurrier, but it would be more surprising if he praised Georgia. Bennett threw for 300 yards or more eight times in his Georgia career, but four of those times occurred in a College Football Playoff or SEC championship game. In fact, his career-high came in the 2023 playoff semifinal against Ohio State, when he threw for 398 yards and 3 touchdowns. Georgia needed every bit of it too, winning 42-41 thanks to a missed field goal. While Bennett had numerous talented teammates on both offense and defense during his time in Georgia (Brock Bowers, Jalen Carter, and Ladd McConkey), it's hard to say that Bennett was just along for the ride. Now with the Rams, Bennett is looking to carve out a pro career. He had an excellent game in Week 1 of the preseason, and with Matthew Stafford dealing with back issues, he could continue getting extended looks in the preseason.

Georgia football announces 2025 homecoming game

The Georgia Bulldogs will host their homecoming game for the 2025 college football season on Saturday, Oct. 4. Georgia's homecoming game comes against the Kentucky Wildcats and will be televised on ABC or ESPN. The Georgia-Kentucky kickoff will be at noon ET. Georgia plays Kentucky the week after hosting Alabama at night on Sept. 27, so the Kentucky game could be a bit of a trap game. Kentucky always plays physical and usually challenges Georgia to close game, but has not managed to beat the Bulldogs during the Kirby Smart era. Georgia has won 15 straight games over the Wildcats. Georgia is 8-1 in homecoming games during the Kirby Smart era. The Bulldogs have won eight consecutive homecoming games dating back to the 2016 game against Vanderbilt.
