NEWELL - The St. Edmond football team used another balanced offensive attack to secure a 40-28 victory over Newell-Fonda here Friday night. Thomas Ehn threw for 230 yards, hitting both Blake Bartlett and Ty Mericle for scoring strikes. The junior showed off his legs with a rushing score and 68 yards.

It’s been over 320 days since Fort Dodge last played a home football game. The 2026 Dodgers are chomping at the bit to take the field on their own turf, which will now happen five times in the next eight weeks. It’s a vision that first comes back to reality on Friday against Webster City. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Head coach Nik Moser’s program enters this contest having prevailed in 16 of their last 19 regular-season decisions. These Dodgers are still relatively untested, though, having only a 36-6 victory at Mason City on the ledger to date. “I think the best thing I saw on ...
