On Friday, Aug. 24, in Dyersville, Iowa, Western Dubuque and Beckman competed once again. Beckman had possession of the ball for the majority of the first quarter. Western Dubuque had a great pass set up by Dylan Kramer to the red-zone (within the 20 yard line). Western Dubuque scored shortly after and the extra point was good to make it 7-0. Beckman scored in the third quarter but the extra point was no good to make the score 7-6. With three minutes left in the game, Beckman had the ball within 30 yards of the end zone, but it proved to be too far for the field goal. Beckman continued to advance but not far enough to make it. With less than 30 seconds on the clock, Beckman fumbled, and Western Dubuque lined up in their victory formation. Western Dubuque has not been lucky since, losing to Maquoketa 7-30 and losing to West Delaware 6-26. Coach Kuhle had this to say, “As always, it is great to beat Beckman. The team played a hard-fought game and came out on top. Our defense did a great job. Keeping them at six points was no easy task. After the rivalry game, we moved on to the tough Maquoketa team. We made them look much better than they are. We blocked and tackled poorly and paid the price for it. The week after, we traveled to Manchester. West Delaware has a very good program. We played better than we did a week ago. A couple of key turnovers kept the game from being closer than it was.” On Sept. 29, for the Homecoming game, the Bobcats will face Oelwein.
