Dallas Center – Grimes and Winterset were both hungry for a victory on the gridiron on Friday night, as both teams were in search of a major district victory. That honor would go to Winterset, as they were able to win by the score of 9-7 to move to 1-0 in district play and 1-4 overall. DCG dropped to 0-5 on the season.

The Mustangs were able to strike first as Ty Mikkelsen was able to hit Trevor Hamil for a passing touchdown to give them the lead in the second quarter, and were able to take a 7-6 lead at halftime. Winterset was able to tap a field goal in the third quarter to take the lead once and for all, as the Mustangs couldn’t find any more scoring the rest of the night in the tough loss.

DCG football will be back on the road for week 6, when they will take on Council Bluffs – Thomas Jefferson, as they will be on the hunt for a district victory.
