Facing their desired rematch with the only team to defeat them this season, the Waukon football Indians traveled to the home of defending Class 2A State Champion and fellow Class 2A District 3 leader North Fayette Valley Friday, November 6 to play in the quarterfinal round of the Class 2A State Play-Offs. The host TigerHawks had dealt the Indians a 48-8 blow in late September in District 3 play, but as this game played out there was little to no evidence of that early-season whitewashing, the game going down to the final minute before the Indians had their season ended by a 24-20 final result.
“Our staff was extremely proud of the way these kids responded in facing a team that had completely outclassed us the first time,” Waukon football coach Chad Beermann said. “Our season ended, but the ending was not because we were outplayed. We lost because they were just the better team that night.”

Kee football team brings season to a close with 56-6 District 4 road loss at Midland

The Kee football brought its 2015 season to a close with a 56-6 loss at Midland-Wyoming Friday, October 23.

The Hawks, however, also offered their fair share of help in turning the ball over six times with three each of fumbles and interceptions on the wet, cool evening, one of those interceptions being returned 54 yards for a Midland touchdown.

Waukon football team ends regular season with 46-12 triumph at Oelwein

Knowing full well what needed to be done on its own behalf to secure the best possible State Play-Off seeding it could, the Waukon football team more than took care of its own business in ending the 2015 regular season with a 46-12 romp at single-win Oelwein Friday, October 23. With their own part of securing the greatest margin of victory allowed (13 points) for any play-off seeding tie-breaker well in hand, the Indians needed further help with a loss by North Fayette Valley and only a single-digit win by Dyersville Beckman to ascend the play-off seeding ladder as best it could.
