The Otter Tail Central Bulldogs fell to Ashby/Brandon-Evansville by a score of 30-14 on Thursday night. The game feature a lengthy weather delay of approximately two hours following halftime when lightening was spotted from a storm north of the football field. The game was close until the final minutes of the game when the Bolts were able to score a pair of late touchdowns, including one on an interception that was returned for a touchdown. This week the Bulldogs will look to rebounds when they host New York Mills at Don Seipkes Field in Henning. The Eagles fell to Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa by a score of 33-0 on Thursday night in their regular season opener.
