The rate was set for 38.1 cents per $100 valuation. "We held everything we could on expenditures," said Mayor Wayne Collins. "We did not give any raises this year. The reason we had to raise taxes is so we could balance the budget. "The primary reason is because the plant (formerly Cargill) continues to go down in valuation and when the plant closed, the city started losing $32,000 a month in water that we'd been selling Cargill. He described the budget as "bare bones." We had to trim and cut and reduce our capital expenditures in order to balance the budget," he said.

"We looked good and started out with an eight-play drive down the field that ended in a score," he said. "The coaches feel good about everything we've done this season. Our team played hard the entire game." After that score, Olton answered with a TD and the game was tied after the first quarter. In the second period, Dimmitt outscored Olton, 12-6, but that ended the scoring for the Bobcats. Cabezuela said the way his players practice shows in their game performances. "We stress that we have to work hard the first part of the week to be ready for gameday," he said.
