The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Cowboys are 1-0 after demolishing their Wright County foes from Belmond-Klemme last Friday night.<\/p>\n

Charlie Campbell jumpstarted the Cowboy offense in the first quarter with a rushing touchdown from five yards out and later showed off his defensive prowess with a sack. On that same Bronco drive, Colton Hefti broke up a pass, and new CGD addition Joel Meier recorded a sack to force a Belmond-Klemme punt.<\/p>\n

CGD increased their lead to 14-0 after sophomore Colin Sesker punched it in for six just before the end of the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Meier, a junior, went off for two rushing touchdowns in the second quarter.\u00a0\u00a0 On his second score, he broke several tackles and rambled 67 yards to the end zone to give the Cowboys a 32-8 lead. Henry Holmes and Selvin Gonzalez both snagged an interception in the quarter as CGD dominated both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n

Sesker and Meier would both score a touchdown apiece in the second half, and Clarion-Goldfield-Dows went on to win, 44-30.<\/p>\n

A strong passing game from B-K quarterback Brody Heifner kept the Broncos in the game. He finished 32\/50 for 392 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions<\/p>\n

The Cowboys were led by Meier\u2019s 255 rushing yards on 14 carries. He scored three touchdowns and recorded three sacks on the defensive line.<\/p>\n

Selvin Gonzalez ran for 120 yards on 12 carries, and Sesker had 101 yards on 12 carries.<\/p>\n
