It is the closest the Bears have come in league play this autumn. Their two earlier conference games were decided by nineteen points and thirty-four; this one turned on a single score.
The loss leaves Dolores 4-4 for the year and 0-3 in the league. The four wins all came in the first half of the season, against Plateau Valley, Rangely, Escalante of New Mexico and Custer County; the four defeats are a non-conference trip to Monticello in September and the three league games since the start of October.
One fixture is left on the regular-season card. Dolores travels to Del Norte on Saturday, October 31, with a 1 p.m. start — the same early kickoff the team has had for its last two road trips, and the last chance to put a mark in the league column.
