Bolivar built a 14-0 lead after three quarters and went on to beat the McDonald County High School freshman football team, 27-14, on Sept. 16 at MCHS.

Bolivar led 7-0 at halftime and added a third-quarter touchdown before McDonald County cut the margin to 14-6 with 8:14 left in the game.

Cross Dowd hit Hunter Harris with a 15-yard touchdown pass for the score. The TD was set up by a 40-yard pass from Dowd to Jack Parnell.
