DW Football drops non- conference game to McCall-Donnelly

Dayton-The DW Cardinals hosted the McCall-Donnelly Vandals Friday September 13th in a non conference matchup. Initially this game wasn't supposed to be on the schedule but McCall-Donnelly had a late cancellation. Head coach Troy Larsen was happy to get another home game on the schedule even against an opponent other area teams weren't willing to play. DW would lose by a score of 68-0 but that doesn't tell the whole story.

The Vandals are a division 2A team from Idaho currently ranked 4th in the state while Dayton-Waitsburg is a division 2B team. The Vandals opened their season against another 2A team who they beat 63-6. They've tied for first in their league for the past three seasons in a row. The Vandals JV team traveled to a 3A JV team this season and won 20-16. While it is difficult to lose a game like this I was impressed with the boys and the coaching staff. The team didn't quit and the game didn't get chippy like you so often see in a game like this.
