Turnovers continue to fuel Waukon football fire as gridiron Tribe spoils Waterloo Columbus Homecoming with 43-7 victory

The Waukon football team remained undefeated in its Class 2A District 4 quest so far this season, sinking the Sailors of Waterloo Columbus on their Homecoming night with a 43-7 road ambush Friday, September 23. Although holding just a single win this season, Waukon football coach Chad Beermann was not about to let his charges overlook the host Sailors, who had rallied for a furious comeback to give the football Tribe a 30-27 home scare last season. A stifling Indian defense that limited Columbus to just 123 total yards of offense, and an opportunistic Tribe offense that took advantage of seven Sailor turnovers in the ballgame left little doubt there would be no repeat scare this season.
