Frustration.  That’s what the 7th ranked Coffeyville Community College Red Ravens felt falling 31 - 0 to the 6th ranked Navarro College Bulldogs in the CHAMPS Heart of Texas Bowl.  The Ravens were frustrated throughout the game by their own mistakes and officiating.  Hostility between the teams was evident from early in the game.

 

Navarro led 17 – 0 at the half opening up the scoring early after blocking a Red Raven punt on their second possession and taking it into the end zone for a touchdown.  The Ravens only bright spot on offense in the first half fell short when a 36 yard touchdown was called back after a holding penalty. The Bulldogs scored again in the second quarter after a 96 yard touchdown drive that was helped significantly by 5 Red Raven penalties.  Navarro added 3 more just as time ran out in the half with a 41 yard field goal. 

 

On their first offensive series in the second half the Ravens moved the ball as close as the 1 yard line of Navarro before losing a fumble, the aftermath of which resulted in unsportsmanlike conduct penalties by both squads.  Navarro made it 31 – 0 with touchdowns late in the third quarter and early in the fourth.

 

The game was called with six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, due to lightning in the area. The decision was made by the school's athletic directors and bowl game director Jack Welch.

 

Coffeyville finishes the first season under Nick Dobler at 9-3, and co-KJCCC conference champions.
