Four costly interceptions kept the Melcher-Dallas Football Squad grounded for most of the game in a 44-18 loss to Lamoni on Friday in both teams season openers. The Saints gave up early scores, but managed to keep it tied at 12 going into halftime. Coach Jason Mason was pleased with his defense only allowing three scores, but he added the offense was not connecting and the turnovers were the difference. Melcher-Dallas is 0-1 and will take on arch-rival Twin Cedars on Friday.
