Game Summary
On a misty, foggy evening the Aurora Houn Dawgs took on the undefeated Cassville Wildcats at Kelley Field. The weather didn't get any better throughout the night and the dreariness of the night reflected in the results on the field for the Houns' as well. Cassville jumped on Aurora early 21-0 and finished the night strong to spoil Senior Night for the Dawgs. The loss dropped the Houns's to 3-5 overall as well as a 2-4 mark in Big 8 Conference play.
Cassville got the scoring started on a Brent Thompson 1 yard run. Cassville score twice more before the Houns' got into the end zone on scoring plays by Hayden Prater and Ty Craig. Aurora kept getting pinned deep in their own territory throughout the night, but on their fourth drive, Clayton Sumners found Andrew Parker with a 42 yard pass and catch to get them down to the 1yard line. Everett Basham found paydirt on the next play and Aurora was alive and kicking down 21-7. However, Garrett Kirk had a big 48 yard return after fumbling the kickoff to get Cassville back into the swing. A few plays later, he would find the end zone on a 34 yard touchdown pass thrown by his brother, Gabe. Cassville dominated the rest of the evening en route to a 43-7.
