Saturday, October 8th saw the DCB football team
travel to Willmar, Minnesota to face Ridgewater College and it did not go
well. DCB turned the ball over 12 times on 7 interceptions and 5 fumbles
and were soundly defeated by Ridgewater 60-15. It was a surreal and
disappointing game, but something we will have to put behind us as the playoffs
are still a possibility.
DCB scored on their first possession to take a 7-0 lead,
only to see Ridgewater score later in the first quarter and then get a field
goal off a turnover to lead 10-7. The Lumberjacks scored to take the lead
15-10 before the wheels came off. Ridgewater played well, but mistake
after mistake on offense, defense, and special teams contributed to the
lopsided score.
DCB, now 3-4 on the season, can still qualify for the MCAC
playoffs with either a win this weekend at Mesabi Range or a Fergus Falls loss
to Vermilion. The Lumberjacks have been up and down all season and will
need a solid effort to defeat Mesabi Range, who despite a 1-6 record have
played teams strong all season. Game time is 11 AM on Saturday in
Virginia, Minnesota.
I apologize for the lack of a game stream on Saturday,
apparently Ridgewater’s stream went out on Friday night and they never got it
back.
