Purple fall to ORR, 30-12
Readying for Island Cup season finale, series tied at 20 wins apiece.

ORR blew it wide open in the third quarter scoring four times on three TDs and a safety. Bulldog quarterback Ryyn Thomas had 3 TDs, two running and one passing.
A Waterloo man has been sentenced to federal prison time for being a drug user in possession of a firearm, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. 20 year old Chase Grant was sentenced to two and a half years in prison with three years of supervised release to follow. According to prosecutors, investigators found social media posts depicting Grant using marijuana and other drugs with a gun visible in the shot. While law enforcement were surveilling Grant’s home they witnessed three people attempt to force their way into the home. One of them was brandishing a gun. Police detained the three who claimed they were there to collect on a debt. The person with the gun said they had stolen it from Grant earlier. Grant then admitted that he had stolen the gun from someone in Colorado.
