The Bettendorf Bulldogs punched their ticket to the state 4A football semi-finals with a 22-12 win over Iowa City High Monday night (11/6).
Bettendorf stormed back from a 12-0 deficit to win its 10th game of the season and advance to a Friday night (11/10) semi-final contest at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls. The Bulldogs scored just before the half ended to cut the deficit to 12-7 and then blanked the Little Hawks in the second half while scoring twice, including a two-point conversion.
The 69-yard drive just before the half turned the game around for Bettendorf on offense, and the Bulldog shutdown the Little Hawks the final two quarters.
