McCOOK, Neb. — Despite some early injuries, Dundy County-Stratton’s girls dominated for a 42-26 win over Arapahoe to highlight Cattle Trail girls’ first-round action on Tuesday.

Arapahoe (2-1) had already knocked off Class D-1 No. 1 Overton to start its season Thursday night.

Yet junior Clara Spargo overcame a recent rolled ankle and tallied 17 points for victorious DC-S.
