Guest: Joel Bryant - Southeast Raleigh High School Bulldog Bash Powered By HighSchoolOT

Reese, Pam and Alex speak with Joel Bryant.

Joel Bryant is a senior editor for HighSchoolOT. Bryant joins the Sports Shop to discuss tonight's Southeast Raleigh High School Bulldog Bash and college football in North Carolina. 

The Southeast Raleigh Bulldog Bash, powered by HighSchoolOT, is set to take place tonight, Friday, August 15, 2025, at Southeast Raleigh High School. This preseason football jamboree will feature eight high school teams: Southeast Raleigh (the host), Knightdale, Sanderson, Cary, Jordan, Garner, Wilson Prep, and Wake Forest. Although this is the first edition of the Bulldog Bash, HighSchoolOT previously hosted its football jamboree at Southeast Raleigh from 2009–2013, before moving it to Cardinal Gibbons and then Wake Forest High School in more recent years.

The event begins at 6:00 PM, with games played at the top of each hour. Matchups include Knightdale vs. Cary at 6:00, Sanderson vs. Wilson Prep at 7:00, Wake Forest vs. Garner at 8:00, and Southeast Raleigh vs. Jordan at 9:00. Admission is $10 per person, parking is free, and concessions will be available on site. The Bulldog Bash not only serves as a preseason warm-up but also highlights rising talent and community excitement heading into the fall football season.
