Waukon football team plays to 3-6 season record, eighth consecutive State Play-Off berth during 2024 campaign

The 2024 Waukon football season turned in overall season results not seen by the program in 10 years, but ultimately ended up where every team strives to be for the eighth consecutive season. Playing to its first losing record, 3-6, since the 2014 season that also yielded a 3-6 end result, this year’s grid Tribe also snapped a six-season streak of District Championships for the program, but ultimately qualified for the Class 2A State Play-Offs for the eighth consecutive season and for the 11th time in the past 13 seasons, since joining the Class 2A ranks of district competition.

“It seemed like this season, it took much longer to get total buy-in from the team,” Waukon football coach Chad Beermann said of this season’s non-winning overall record result. “I am speaking here of using the techniques we drill in every practice. We finally achieved it for the last two games, and that almost advanced us to the next round of the play-offs. By the end of the season, we also had several sophomores who contributed quite a bit.  They’ll need to be counted on as they become next year’s juniors to support next year’s seniors.”
