Bulldogs Shut Out Rams 19–0 in Mason Varsity Season Opener

On Thursday, August 28, 2025, Mason High School hosted the Holt Rams in a non-conference varsity matchup at Mason, MI, tipping off at 7:00 PM. The Mason Bulldogs dominated, securing a 19–0 shutout victory to begin their 2025 campaign*. The win moved Mason to 1–0 overall (0–0 in league play), while Holt fell to 0–1.

The Bulldogs returned home energized under the lights of Mason High School. As season openers go, this home-field advantage played out with poise—Mason's defense rose to the occasion, and the offense delivered just enough to keep the Rams off the board.

• Mason Bulldogs, led by Head Coach Gary Houghton, who is entering his ninth season, are once again eyeing another deep postseason run—having reached the state semifinals four consecutive years*.

• Holt Rams faced a stiff test to open their season on the road against a talented and battle-tested Mason squad.

What This Means for Both Teams

• Mason Bulldogs: A confident start—1–0 overall, 0–0 league. They’re building on recent postseason success and maintaining a winning culture*. 

• Holt Rams: A challenging opener with lots to adjust. Traveling to Mason is always tough—plenty of time remains to regroup before league play.

Looking Ahead

Mason will look to carry this momentum into their next matchup on September 5 away against DeWitt, while Holt will regroup and prepare to return home to face Swartz Creek.
