McLouth ? Two turnovers by McLouth High deep in its own territory proved costly as the Bulldogs lost to Troy, 26-14, in the first round of the Class 2-1A playoffs Friday at Stan Braksick Sports Complex.

McLouth (7-3) was shut out until the fourth quarter, when Drew Cerny scored a 31-yard touchdown run, and Nick McAferty hauled in a touchdown pass, but the Bulldogs couldn’t recover an onside kick.
