The Taylor County Bulldogs clinched its first district football championship since 2010 by blocking a field goal and returning it for a touchdown on the final play of a 32-24 win over Florida High Friday night at Dorsett Stadium.

Trailing 26-24, Florida High kicker Chase Allbaugh lined up to kick a game-winning 45-yard field goal with 4.1 seconds remaining in the game.
