The Clarion-Goldfield/Dows football team experienced a reality check with a one-point loss in Week 2, but they were able to bounce back.
After dropping a 7-6 contest to Hampton-Dumont-CAL, the Cowboys faced Estherville-Lincoln Central, which had won the last seven games in the series. However, C-G/D was able to knock off the Midgets 26-14.
“It was a reality check after that one-point loss to (H-D) in a game we should have won,” said C-G/D head coach Caleb Vogel.
The Cowboys then opened district play with a 33-0 shutout of Central Springs, and continued to improve with wins over Eagle Grove and Garner-Hayfield.
