In Photos: Warren Mott Stuns Dakota 24-14

Few would've guessed it before the night began, but the visiting Warren Mott Marauders upended host on Friday night, 24-14, thanks to solid play and a slew of Cougars turnovers.

A 14-point third quarter outburst, which included an interception return for a touchdown by Mott's Anthony Brooks, pushed the Marauders lead to 21-7.

The Cougars closed the gap in the final quarter to seven points, 21-14, but a field goal from Mott's Morgan Madigan with 2:49 remaining in the contest moved the score to 24-14. 

Dakota moved the ball downfield in the closing minutes of the game before another turnover ended any hopes the squad had for a late-game comeback.

The loss drops the Cougars to 3-2 in the Macomb Area Conference Red and 5-3 overall. The team is going to need one more victory in the final week of the season to qualify for the state playoffs. 

Next up for Dakota is Utica Ford on Oct. 21 on the road.

The Marauders pushed their record to 3-2 in the Red and 5-3 overall.
