Two entirely different halves of football ended with the Clear Lake Lions falling 41-27 to sixth rated (3A) Webster City in a non-district contest Friday night on the road.

The Lions did almost everything right in the first half and went into the halftime break with a 20-7 lead over the Lynx.  However, Webster City used 376-yards of offense in the second half, compared to just 89 for the Lions, to rattle off 34-points.

Bulldogs top Cardinals in a Friday night thriller

The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura Cardinals (1-1) came up short Friday night when an Algona (2-0) field goal split the uprights to secure the game’s final lead change, 23-21. It was an electric game of back and fourths, as two evenly-matched teams squared off in non-district action that left no one sleeping in the stands.

“We played a tough Algona team,” said GHV Head Coach Scott VanDusseldorp. “We came out a little flat and made some mistakes early – second half was much better.”
