A second consecutive home game for the Kee football team in the early-going of this 2024 season already had a lot riding on its end result, as the Hawks of the gridiron opened Eight-Player District 3 play Friday, September 6 against Turkey Valley - a team they were in a shoot-out with last season, both in their 68-56 Kee victory and in Eight-Player State Play-Off positioning last fall. This season’s match-up between the two squads had early indications of another such high-scoring battle to the end, as within the first three plays of the game each had already scored a touchdown, but the Hawks proved to be much more consistent in taking control of the game shortly after that early exchange to pull away to a 58-28 victory.

Waukon football team establishes itself early in posting a 28-12 non-district win at Class 1A 10th-rated MFL/MarMac

Having been dealt its first shut-out loss since the 2011 season in its opening game for 2024 a week earlier against Class 4A Decorah, the Waukon football team not only made sure that scenario would not play out again, but that there would not be a second consecutive loss to the MFL/MarMac squad the Indians were paying a visit to Friday, September 6. Having suffered a 34-12 home defeat to the Bulldogs last fall as part of the best football season in MFL/MarMac history that led to a Class 1A State Runner-Up finish and now an early-season ranking among Class 1A’s top-10 teams for the Bulldogs this fall, the grid Tribe ground out a strong initial drive and capitalized on an early turnover to help play to a 20-0 halftime lead and eventually avenge last season’s loss with a 28-12 road victory.

Scoring on nine of its 11 possessions in the ballgame, including its first three drives on just eight plays combined, Kee’s grid squad jumped out to a 22-0 advantage within the first five minutes of the ballgame and never looked back on the way to its season-opening victory.

“We were able to get off to a great start, scoring three times in the first five minutes of the ballgame,” Kee football head coach Chad Winters shared. “We hit some big plays and (sophomore) Tanner (Troendle) was able to force a turnover on a kick-off that set up a short field.”

Waukon baseball team plays to 12-18 season during 2024 campaign

The 2024 Waukon baseball season played out to a 12-18 overall record for the Indian diamond dwellers. That season-long mark included a 7-13 mark in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) play that placed Waukon fourth in the final six-team NEIC standings, and culminated in a second postseason tournament run to the Class 2A District Championship game in the past four seasons before having the 2024 summer season brought to a close with a rain-shortened loss at home to Denver in that Class 2A district finale.

“I was happy to see our seniors advance to another district championship game,” Waukon baseball coach Shane Schellsmidt said in reflecting on this season. “They ended their career knowing they played in two district championship games, which is not easy to accomplish, as well as recording three 15-win seasons.”
