Cross Country Team Competes in Condor League Meet

The Earwigs traveled to Thacher School for the first Condor League Meet of the season.  The boys' team tied for 5th place against OVS out of seven schools.  We had a couple of highlights, Robby Bracker finished in first place for Dunn School.  In second place for Dunn, freshman Preston Hughes, followed by Morgan Sinclaire, and in fourth place another freshman Matt Mori.  The two freshmen boys are doing fantastic. They have made an impact on the team, they are enthusiastic and motivated to work hard and are not afraid to compete. The two girls on the Dunn team, Audrey Pecot and Emily Hemming, finished the race together and are working very hard to stay healthy and improve their times.  Next Condor League Meet is at Cate, on October 12 at 3:00 pm. 

Lightening Stops Dunn Football's Opener with Earwigs Ahead 14-0

The Dunn football team departed campus on Friday afternoon for a game in Maricopa. First game jitters were apparent to the coaching staff, but the boys did a great job hiding them from the opposition.  The Earwigs put together three long clock-chewing drives during the one half of play, two of which resulted in scores. The game was called shortly after the opening of the second half due to lightening with the score 14-0 in Dunn’s favor. 

During the first quarter Dunn drove the ball to the one yard line where Spencer Huttmann punched it in for the first points of the season.  Late in the second quarter Dunn drove the ball down the field again, this time to the Indians 25 yard line. Coming out of a timeout Huttmann hit Cody Boal for a 25 yard touchdown pass with 42 seconds left in the half. 

Bryce McKibbin had a great game carrying the ball, amassing 77 yards on 22 carries in the first half alone. The lightning spoiled his bid for a truly big statistical night. Freshman Alex Knightley also made a splash scoring a two point conversion and lead blocking for McKibbin on one side of the ball while starting at middle linebacker on the defensive side. Knightley has had a great preseason, and the coaching staff plans on continuing to use him all over the field. Geoff Billock also had a great game at outside linebacker making numerous tackles and pressuring the quarterback on several plays. Patrick Daniel, a first-time varsity starter, came up with a big interception and played well on offence as well. 

The Earwigs are entering a bye week during which the coaching staff will focus the varsity on the match up with Hillcrest Christian in two weeks while getting the JV squad ready for their first game vs Thacher at home on October 5^th. Check the Dunn School website for a complete schedule and roster.
