These guys are far from unknown to our current readers, because they simply dominated this past season.  That clinched their third state title.
 
They have made the state meet almost every year, which is quite an accomplishment from the semi state.  They represent "the south" well every year.  Perhaps the most unique thing about Columbus North is the way that they train is fairly unique.  There are a few other Paavo schools in the state, but Columbus North is without a doubt the leading example of how well it can work.
 
Expect the Bulldogs to be in contention for another state title next year as they return everybody and recent rumors have indicated that Futsum is in fact transferring (joke) to Columbus North.
