The Dragons had to suffer through a 54-24 loss at the hands of the Patriots. The Dragons were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 48-8.

The win made it two in a row for David City and bumps their season record up to 3-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 24 points in those games. As for Madison, their loss dropped their record down to 0-5.
Madison was dealt a bruising 67-6 defeat at the hands of David City when the teams last played back in October of 2024.
