Home ›Capitalizing on turnovers helps Waukon football team stay undefeated in District 4 with 20-14 home triumph over Cascade
In a game that may likely have play-off repercussions despite being played so early in the season, the Waukon football team played host to Cascade Friday, September 16 in a match-up between two teams battling with overall undefeated Class 2A District 4 colleagues Union of LaPorte City and North Fayette Valley atop the District standings. In trying to take care of that District 4 business, it was the team that took care of the ball best that ended up remaining among the District’s unbeatens, as the football Indians took advantage of two Cascade fumbles and two interceptions to come away with a 20-14 home victory.
Improving to 2-0 in Class 2A District 4 play and advancing their season record to 3-1 on the year, the Indians will next travel to Waterloo Columbus in District 4 play this Friday, September 23. The Sailors are 1-3 on the season, with their lone win being a 14-6 District 4 triumph at Oelwein two Fridays ago. Columbus comes off a 40-6 home loss to Dyersville Beckman in District 4 play this past Friday.
“We are thrilled with the win against Cascade, but we still have plenty to work on,” Coach Beermann said. “We now head to Columbus to face a team that staged a furious second half comeback last year against us and nearly pulled off the upset.”
