Kee football team fights back from 12-0 deficit in first 30 seconds, scores game-winning touchdown with 11 seconds left in 50-46 triumph at N. Iowa

Anyone who saw the first 30 seconds of the Kee football team’s Friday, September 25 road game at North Iowa in Buffalo Center would likely not have guessed it would go down to the final 30 seconds before being decided in the Hawks’ favor. North Iowa fans may still not believe it.

“Wow! That was quite the high school football game,” Kee football coach Chad Winters said. “It wasn’t the cleanest played game, but the fans sure got their money’s worth. We couldn’t have had a worse start than we did. We were down 12-0 just 23 seconds into the game after two big plays by them and a turnover by us. To the boys’ credit, they battled back.”

The Hawks are scheduled to host Springville this Friday, October 2 for Kee’s Homecoming game. After starting off 3-0 with an outscoring of those opponents by a 223-14 margin, the Orioles have suffered consecutive losses to Eight-Player District 3’s undefeated and top-10 ranked leaders, 65-48 to Easton Valley and 78-34 just this past Friday at defending Eight-Player State Champion Don Bosco.
