Dowling Catholic outplayed the Dragon football team 0-27 Sept. 7 at Dragon Stadium.

“I thought the kids played hard and never quit at any point in the game, but bottom line, we didn’t execute very well as a team,” coach Brian Woodley said.

The team’s record stands at 5-1 after they added wins against Muscatine and East the last couple of weeks. The Dowling Catholic game is the only loss of the year.

Ethan Arnold ‘19, started as left guard. “I think we have a great team and we are definitely capable of beating Dowling in the playoffs. We all made costly mistakes last Friday and we have a lot to improve on,” he said.

Woodley hopes the team makes the playoffs. “Dowling, I thought, played a very sound game and took it to us,” he said. “We will learn from this and my hope is that we have a chance to play them again later in the season.”
