With a dominant road win over Clarion-Goldfield-Dows on Friday, Oct. 11, Okoboji’s football team put itself in position to achieve heights that the program hasn’t reached in 16 years.
Their 49-21 win over the Cowboys pushed their record to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the district. With a win this week over Forest City (4-3, 3-1), the Pioneers could guarantee a runner-up finish in the district and a home game in the first round of the playoffs.
