District play will begin in Week 5 with a home game against Humboldt. The Wildcats have won the last five meetings. The Bulldogs will visit Webster City in Week 6, where they’ll go for their first win in the series since 2005.
Clear Lake will visit in Week 7, followed by a trip to Charles City in Week 8. The Bulldogs recorded their third shutout win of 2023 by beating Charles City 46-0.
The regular season will conclude with a home game against Algona in Week 9, which defeated Hampton-Dumont-CAL 21-7 last year.
