De Leon 7, Clyde 6 — The new-look De Leon Bearcats were bottled up offensively in Friday’s opener, but they made enough plays on the other side of the ball to get first-year head coach Andrew Dickson his first career victory.

De Leon was outgained 317-6, but a 60-yard pick-six with 9:26 left in the second quarter gave the Bearcats all the points they’d need to leave Clyde with a win. That was one of two big interceptions by the De Leon defense.

Clyde’s Dylan Neuman scored what would be the game’s only offensive touchdown with a 25-yard TD run with 5:04 left in the first half, but a failed extra point left the Bulldogs playing from behind the rest of the way.
