The Marysville Bulldog football team pulled itself off the unbeatens list this past Friday night when the Bulldogs played host to NCKL rival Concordia and scored a 30-6 victory for their first win of 2022 and handing the Panthers their third straight defeat after opening the season with a victory over the Chapman Fighting Irish.

The Fighting Irish, however, were unable to put together a winning streak after earning their first win of 2022 last week against Marysville, the Fighting Irish traveled to Abilene to face their intra-county rivalry, Abilene, in a contest that is the longest running rivalry West of the Mississippi river.

While it is the longest-running rivalry, the Cowboys did not allow the Irish to build much momentum as they came back from an early 6-0 deficit to score the game’s final 28 points and earn a 28-0 victory in the only other NCKL showdown this past week.
