AMBOY – The Amboy-LaMoille Clippers ran into a quality Dakota club and suffered a 47-6 loss to the Indians in a Northwest Upstate Illini Conference contest on Oct. 6 at the AHS field.

Ben Rhine paced the rushing attack with 57 yards on 16 carries, while Justin Hart added 44 yards and Jake Schaver chipped in with 33 yards. Hart completed three passes for 71 yards, with Andrew Gillan gathering in a pair of aerials for 37 yards.
