Muddy conditions made for a difficult night offensively as the Boone football team opened district play with a 28-0 loss to Adel-DeSoto-Minburn on Friday, September 25 at Goeppinger Field.
A sloppy field contributed to fumbles, interceptions and stalled drives throughout the game.

ADM handled the difficult conditions better and struck for a touchdown pass in the first half.
The Tigers added two more touchdowns in the second quarter to build a 21-0 advantage at the half.
That score remained unchanged through the third quarter as Boone’s defense kept the Toreadors within striking distance.
ADM eventually added one final touchdown in the fourth quarter to complete the 28-0 victory.
