Mooreland Bearcats took on the Pawnee Black Bears Friday and lost 14 to 38. Both teams showed up ready to play. The Cats kicked the ball to the Bears first and because of a penalty the Bears started deep in the Cats' territory.

About mid-field the Bears turned the ball over on downs and Mooreland had a turn to score, but on fourth down the Cats gave up the ball to the Bears. The Bears pushed the ball down field by keeping to the running game. With 38 seconds left in the first quarter the Bears scored 6 on a running play, and added two more for the extra points.
