Dakota Hills 28, Clark-Willow Lake 14
WAUBAY — The Clark-Willow Lake Cyclones scored first in the game, but five turnovers and four empty trips to the redzone proved costly Monday, as they dropped a 28-14 game to the Dakota Hills Grizzlies in non-conference football action.

Sam Hovde got C-WL on the board in the first quarter with a three-yard run. Gage Burke added the conversion run. Less than a minute later, however, Matt Amdahl scored the first of his four touchdowns for Dakota Hills. The Grizzlies scored twice more in the first half and took a 22-8 lead at the break.
Burke scored on a 15-yard run in the third quarter to narrow the gap, but Amdahl scored an insurance touchdown with three and a half minutes to go in the game to secure the win.
Burke ran 15 times for 110 yards to lead the Cyclones. Trey Huber carried 10 times for 85 yards and Hovde had 12 carries for 68 yards.
Clark-Willow Lake closes the regular season Friday by hosting Great Plains Lutheran.
