Dallas Dragons Football 21-41 West Albany

It was a tough night for the Dallas Dragons as West Albany came to town and left no doubt, handing Dallas a 41-21 defeat that snapped their perfect start to the season. The Dragons found the end zone three times, but the defense simply couldn't keep pace with a West Albany offense that looked sharp from start to finish.

Dallas had been rolling heading into Friday's matchup, riding a 4-0 record and a wave of momentum that had fans buzzing about this group's potential. West Albany had other plans, though, and the Bulldogs made a strong statement in the process. Credit where it's due, they were the better team on this night.

The Dragons drop to 4-1 on the season, still a solid mark with plenty of football left to play. This one will sting for a bit, but Dallas has shown the kind of resilience this year that suggests they won't dwell on it for long. How they respond next week will say a lot about the character of this squad.
