October 9, 2026 - The Bull Dogs opened the season with a 2-1 victory over Center Grove on August 21. North ended the Trojans’ season with a 1-0 victory in the semifinal round of the East Central boys soccer sectional on Thursday evening. The Dogs will face Columbus East in the sectional finals at 7:00 on Saturday evening at East Central. After a scoreless first half, Parker Gribbins put the Dogs on the board five minutes into the second half driving home a pass from senior Manuel Valle. That score would hold as goal keeper Michael Larson kept a clean sheet in goal, recording six saves, including a couple of leaping saves late in the game. North and Columbus East, who advanced to the finals with a victory over East Central in last night’s late game, played to a 2-2 draw on August 27.
