The Doniphan Dons football squad joined 19 Arkansas teams on Saturday for the 10th Annual Beast Of The East 7-On-7 Tournament at Hoxie. The Dons finished 1-4 in pool play with a win over Brookland and two competitive losses to Yellville-Summit and Hoxie in which the Dons held leads. Mountain View, Ark., defeated the Dons 18-9 in the first round of tournament play. Overall, Coach Jeremy Stout said it was a great learning experience for the Dons against a very talented field of teams. The Dons also earned an invitation to return to Hoxie next summer.
