Dukes Aim to Fix Offense Against Sterling in NCIC Clash
Dixon high school football seeks an offensive breakthrough as it visits Sterling in an NCIC Northeast game at Roscoe Eades Stadium. Sprenger defends not pressing a win but emphasizes polishing plays and fixing a sputtering attack after three straight scoreless losses totaling 240 yards. Sterling, led by first-year coach Max Gaumer, aims to rebound after a rough start including a 35-0 loss to Alleman and a 40-8 setback at Geneseo. Senior Cory Bielema directs the attack with Chris Wilson and Corey Chattic as top targets. Peme Canas and Chattic provide ground threats.
