A defensive effort that allowed just one touchdown spurred the South Winn football team (2-3, 2-1) to a 42-7 victory on the road over AGWSR (1-4, 1-3) Friday night.
“We had a great first half of football as we were able to put up a 35-0 lead going into halftime. Our defensive line answered the challenge this week and led the way to a total of eight tackles for loss and four quarterback sacks. Our defensive line was led by three seniors — Shayde Wermers, Tristen Bodensteiner and Brennan Franzen,” noted Coach Jason Ohrt. “Offensively, we were able to have great production again in the run game, but also connected on several big pass plays as well.”
An early lead
The Warriors found a way to get things going in three of the four quarters Friday night. The scoring started when South Winn got into the red zone and quarterback Braiden Todd cleaned things up by taking the ball 18 yards to the end zone for the score. Carson Streeters PAT sailed through the uprights giving the Warriors a 7-0 lead. Kyle Kuboushek had his name called later in the first period. The junior took the handoff six yards for the score and Streeter’s second kick made it 14-0 for SW after the first 12 minutes.
It was an air attack in the second for the Warriors as Todd completed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Eric Greve to keep the momentum on South Winn’s side. Todd the capped off a drive with a five-yard scamper over the goal line before connecting with Streeter for his second passing touchdown from 58-yards out. At halftime, the Warriors had little worry as they held a 35-0 lead.
AGWSR got its lone score in the third quarter on a 22-yard pass. However, the Warriors found an answer in the fourth as Kuboushek ran through traffic for 13 yards for his second score of the game.
Final thoughts
Overall, SW had 250 yards rushing and 192 through the air for 442 total.
Kuboushek had a stellar game, averaging 4.3 yards a carry as he scampered for 99 yards on 23 carries. Todd held on to the pigskin nine times for 86 yards and completed 6-of-7 passes. The primary target for Todd was Streeter who pulled down three receptions for 134 yards. Yahir Macario, Eric Greve and Landon Livingood each hauled in one reception apiece.
Leading the defense with eight total tackles (six solo) and 1.5 sacks was Kuboushek. Streeter had four solo stops and a pair of assisted tackles, while Todd, Tristen Bodensteiner and Shayde Wermers all tallied three total stops.
Back home
It will be a test within Class A District 3 Friday, Oct. 4, as the Warriors will host Nashua-Plainfield (4-1, 3-0). The Huskies suffered their first loss of the season last week to Saint Ansgar 27-7. So far this season, N-P has defeated Postville 33-14, North Tama 27-6, BCLUW 41-20 and AGWSR 48-7.
