Waukon football team wins another battle of ranked unbeatens, 20-7 at Waterloo Columbus, to sit atop the District 4 championship race

The Friday, October 11 Class 2A District 4 match-up at Waterloo between the Waukon Indians and Waterloo Columbus Sailors held “special” meaning within its defense-dominated result.

It was a late-season match-up between two undefeated and top-five ranked teams that held considerable meaning in the final District 4 standings and, thus, automatic qualification for the Class 2A State Play-Offs. But it was special teams that proved to hold the most meaning in finally getting both teams on the scoreboard in what turned out to be a 20-7 Indian victory that put them in the driver’s seat for the District 4 season championship and automatic play-off qualification as the district’s lone remaining undefeated team.

Continuing its undefeated trek through the 2019 regular season, the Indians sit alone at the top of the Class 2A District 4 team standings at 7-0 overall, 3-0 in District 4 play. The grid Tribe will now play its final home game of the regular season this Friday, October 18, hosting Anamosa. The Raiders are coming off their first win of this season, a 21-13 triumph at Monticello this past Friday.
