Cowboys suffer crushing 39-15 defeat from Clear Lake

Any playoff hopes that the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows/CAL football team still had pretty much vanished into the cool night air last Friday in Clarion in a 39-15 district loss to Clear Lake.

Following a scoreless opening period, the Lions pounced on the Cowboys with three second-quarter trips to paydirt. The home team needed some momentum going into halftime, and got it on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Kainan Braun to Avery Harrington with just 49 ticks on the clock in the half. The PAT kick by Brendon Boyd was good, making it 21-7 Lions at the break.

Following two more Clear Lake touchdowns, the Cowboys found their groove once again in culminating a drive with Reymundo Vasquez running the ball in from three-yards out at the 8:41 mark. A two-point attempt by Braun was good, with Clear Lake scoring again late in the game.

“Turnovers at inopportune times were the story in this one,” stated head coach Newt Lingenfelter. “We fumbled two kick returns and fumbled a pitch deep in our own territory, which Clear Lake took advantage of."
