A rung on the Class 2A District 4 championship ladder was at stake when two of the District’s three still undefeated teams took to the field at Upper Iowa University in Fayette Friday,
October 7. Even though the fourth-rated Waukon football team was technically the home team for the neutral site, it was the second-rated Union Knights that made themselves feel more at home in handing the gridiron Tribe a 37-16 defeat.
“Union’s size and speed was better than ours,” Waukon football coach Chad Beermann said. “In addition, we tackled poorly. We have also lived off turnovers, and Union recovered their only fumble, though we did have five to six kids in the area.”
The gridiron Tribe will then bring its regular season to a close with a Friday, October 22 road date at top-ranked and undefeated North Fayette Valley, who will also host a highly-anticipated clash of undefeated squads when second-rated Union visits West Union this Friday in a game that will go a long way to determining this season’s District 4 champion.
