ATHLETICS
The pride of the town of Paw Paw is displayed proudly on its water tower. “Home of the Bulldogs” is written across two sides of the structure, along with a likeness of the school’s mascot.
The Paw Paw “Bulldogs” and “Lady Bulldogs” competed in several sports throughout the years. Baseball, basketball, and track were all a part of the Paw Paw school scene in the early 1900s through the early 1970s. Girls sports were added in the mid-1970s and the Paw Paw teams competed on a solo basis through the early 2000’s.
At some point, Paw Paw entered into a co-op agreement with the Leland-Earlville co-op which had already been formed in 2007. The years that Paw Paw entered into this agreement may have varied for different sports. This information is being sought.
The Paw Paw “Bulldogs” has some great seasons and success stories over the years. Below are listed the outcomes of each sport as found on the IHSA website. (www.ihsa.org). Please contact us at ihsgdwebsite@comcast.net if you can assist with more season records and historical information regarding Paw Paw High School.
