Going into Friday’s game, Head football coach Tanner Collins knew his Plainsmen would have to contend with Dundy County Stratton’s team speed. What he didn’t expect was his team making the kind of mistakes he hasn’t seen this season so far, like seven turnovers. Frankly, they weren’t mentally prepared for this NORA JAMESON caliber of a team, he said Senior Ethan Bowlin runs through the gap created by #22 Hadley this week after falling to the Sayer’s block.

He said DCS showed them- selves to be a “pretty good football team.” They have speed, talent and play physical. They overwhelmed the Plainsmen, scoring on every possession of the first half to lead 62-0 at the break. The Plainsmen put up three scores in the second half, while giving up just one more.
