It was the Bears’ widest margin since a 40-8 home win over Escalante on September 18, and their only league win of the year. The three league games before it were all losses — at home to Mancos on October 2, at home to Sanford on October 16 and on the road at Norwood on October 24, the last of those by three points. That leaves Dolores at one win and three losses in league play.
Across the whole season the Bears played nine games and won five. The four losses were to Monticello, Mancos, Sanford and Norwood; the wins were over Plateau Valley, Rangely, Escalante, Custer County and now Del Norte. Saturday’s kickoff was listed for 1 p.m. at Del Norte High School.
