🎥 ALL-ACCESS

All-Access: The London Tour. Spring break was unforgettable for our bulldog soccer club as they traveled to London to play a few games in the sport's homeland. Hear about the highlights as Macey Hodge, Maddy Anderson, and James Armstrong tell us about their trip across the pond.

🎥 THE DUDES

The Dudes: Grand Purpose (S.1 E.4). In this episode, we follow Burke Masters from his iconic grand slam to send the Bulldogs to Omaha to his unexpected path as a Catholic priest and now as the Chicago Cubs' team Chaplain. Reflecting on his college years, Masters shares how baseball instilled in him values that still resonate today. Integrating his love for the game with his spiritual calling, he finds fulfillment in guiding players both on and off the field. Through his story, we witness the seamless blending of sportsmanship, faith, and the unwavering belief in God's plan that defines Masters' remarkable journey.
