+ Lady Bulldogs set shutout record in soccer
In one word: Domination.
The Flagler Palm Coast Lady Bulldogs are the epitome of soccer supremacy so far this season.
Last week, FPC (21-0-2) broke the school record for shutouts in a season, which was previously 15. The Lady Bulldogs now have 19 shutouts, and counting.
So far this season, FPC has outscored its opponents 91-4. Senior keeper Haley Lademann has only given up three goals in 23 games.
Senior midfielder Miranda Campbell leads the team in points with 33 goals and 16 assists. Freshman forward Christen Barney has 24 goals and 14 assists.
Coach Pete Hald, who is in his 21st season, said the team’s defense has been critical.
“One of the biggest differences this year compared to last year is we have a better possession game,” Hald said last week. “That has helped the defense, and has helped create a ton more chances to score.”
+ Gilyard returns to NFL, inks deal with Eagles
Former Flagler Palm Coast standout Mardy Gilyard will be back on the football field next season after missing all of the 2011 season.
Gilyard signed a futures contract Friday, Jan. 6, with the Philadelphia Eagles. Because Gilyard wasn’t on a team when the 2011 regular season ended, he was eligible to sign the futures contract prior to the beginning of the 2012 season, which begins in March.
Gilyard, 25, has six catches for 63 yards in 11 career NFL games. He was a fourth-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft.
In his rookie season, Gilyard battled several injuries, including a wrist injury which required surgery.
Gilyard will now be catching passes from Michael Vick, his favorite NFL quarterback.
Additionally, Gilyard will bring his kick-returning abilities to the Northeast.
In 2010, while playing his senior season at the University of Cincinnati, Gilyard returned 16 kickoffs for 356 yards (22.3 yards per return), with a long of 34. He was named an All-American kick returner. During his career with the Bearcats, Gilyard caught 204 passes for 3,003 yards and 25 touchdowns.

+ Bulldogs football gives back to community
It’s all about giving back, FPC coach Caesar Campana says.
The Flagler Palm Coast Bulldogs football team helped give back to the community Saturday, Jan. 7. More than 40 players donated six hours of their day to help the Flagler Rotary Club take down Christmas and holiday displays at Town Center, in Palm Coast.
“I want our players to get involved in community activities this year to show them that there is more to life than football,” Campana said. “I also want the Flagler County community to see what outstanding young men our football players are.”
