Football team maintains tradition at Melbourne High School

MELBOURNE, Fla. – Monday through Thursday, before the sun rises, the Melbourne football team is working, so when the lights come on Friday night, the Bulldogs are ready.

Melbourne is one of the few teams that practice before school. Roll call is at 6 a.m. News 6 attended a practice.

Coach David Kintigh’s Bulldogs are coming together, winning their last two games. It’s a young team but part of a long tradition.

This is the 100th season of Melbourne High School football. Bulldogs have been making tackles and scoring touchdowns since way back in 1925!

The program’s 1000th game is coming up this season as well.

The current edition of the team embraces the past and is also looking forward to its immediate future. Melbourne hosts rival Palm Bay this Friday night.
