MHS won its homecoming game Oct. 7 against Northeast Kansas League rival Valley Falls, 34-28, and then won another NEKL game at home against arch-rival Oskaloosa, 30-14, this past Friday.

The victories moved the Bulldogs to 2-3 in NEKL play and 2-5 overall. The team had to forfeit its Sept. 16 game against Maur Hill-Mount Academy. MHS also trailed Mission Valley, 29-12, at halftime on Sept. 30 on the road near Eskridge when the team forfeited again due to the number of players it could field.

The Bulldogs have a tall task ahead of them this Friday when they travel west to take on the St. Marys Bears. SMHS is 5-2 and sits atop the Class 1A District 3 standings. Mclouth is in fourth place in districts.
