The Waukon football team played to a happy Homecoming Friday, September 30 by rolling over fellow Class 2A District 4 opponent Monticello by a 44-6 final result. In a battle of air vs. ground attacks, the Indian passing game proved to be very little match on the scoreboard for the visiting Panthers’ rushing attack.
Even though the Indians gave up 270 rushing yards in the contest, that one-dimensional Monticello attack did not produce like the Tribe’s air show that resulted in 265 yards and all five of Waukon’s touchdowns. Not only was the Panther offense one dimensional on the ground - Monticello completing just one pass for 21 yards in the contest, but its rushing attack also proved one dimensional within itself, as junior quarterback Max Keleher accounted for 218 of those rushing yards all on his own.
