Dallas Center-Grimes had all the potential for a special night against No. 4 Dowling Catholic on Sept. 12 in Week 3 of Iowa high school football action.
The Mustangs were anything but gracious hosts against the perennial powerhouse in what was the DCG program's first major test since moving to Class 5A. A packed, raucous crowd left no seat empty, and the team was playing inspired football for much of the game. The Mustangs got the things they needed most to be successful.
