Resurgent Cougars blast Hempstead, 48-7

After struggling through losses in its first five games, Kennedy's football team pushed the reset button.

And now they've pushed to three straight wins.

Senior Alex Hillyer ran for 227 yards and four touchdowns and Kennedy blasted Dubuque Hempstead, 48-7, Friday night in a Mississippi Valley Conference Mississippi Division game at Kingston Stadium.

Jefferson belted by IC West, 71-14

IOWA CITY - The Jefferson J-Hawks gave Iowa City West and its homecoming crowd a jolting wakeup call on Friday night.

Jefferson linebacker/quarterback Layne Sullivan intercepted Nate Boland’s passing attempt on the second play of the game and Jefferson quickly converted a halfback pass for a touchdown.

West was in a position it hadn’t been accustomed to for the majority of the season: Trailing in a game. Then, like a bad dream, the Trojans snapped out of it.

Iowa City West scored 29 unanswered points and drubbed Jefferson by a whopping score of 71-14 at the Iowa City West field.

Another big loss for Huskies

If last week was the Cedar Valley Christian football team's best chance to get their first win ever, Friday was the next best chance.

The Huskies suffered a big loss at previous winless Central City last week but got another shot at a first win at home against the one-win Warriors of Central Elkader.

Despite playing at LaSalle Middle School, there was no home-field advantage for the Huskies.

The Warriors took control early and never looked back as they rushed their way past the Huskies, 82-14, in an 8-player District 4 game.

Principals earn their keep

Mary Wilcynski is everywhere. Ralph Plagman is, too.

Pick a sports event involving their schools and the principals from Kennedy and Washington are probably there.

Last Friday night, Wilcynski froze in the cold night along with all the other Kennedy football fans at Memorial Stadium in Waterloo when the Cougars beat Waterloo East. After the game, she joined the crowd in the locker room and hallway to help celebrate the victory.
