Snitker carries Wash past Linn-Mar

It has been a long time between wins for Paul James as a head coach.

James returned to the Cedar Rapids Washington sideline this season after a seven-year hiatus.  In the first three games this season, his Warriors had ample opportunity to get a victory. They weren’t about to let that chance slip away in Friday night’s showdown with Linn-Mar at Kingston Stadium.

Washington scored a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter to break a 14-14 deadlock, then held off a final drive from the Lions to come away with a hard-fought 26-21 win.

Cedar Falls (3-0, 1-0) was held under 200 total yards of total offense and committed two turnovers, but the Tigers forced two Warrior fumbles and picked off three Reid Snitker passes.

Warriors dumped by IC West, 49-8

Losing some of their stars from last year hasn't caused Iowa City West to miss a beat so far.

They graduated leading rusher Ezra Reiners and receivers Jeremy Morgan and Dondre Alexander. But that's hardly slowed them down any.

In their opening game last week, they blasted Linn-Mar, 67-28. And Friday night at Kingston Stadium they pasted Cedar Rapids Washington, 49-8.

It was the first season-opening win for Kennedy since 2008, and it was engineered by a player who missed the entire 2012 campaign.

Jacobus sat out last fall with a shoulder injury he suffered during the pre-season while working as a receiver.
