Washington High School - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

No.1 Tigers top Warriors, 31-16

Washington tailback Mitch Bredeson is listed at 5-foot-8 and weighs a solid 160 pounds with soaking wet full pads.

But the latest of Washington's talented scatbacks kept pounding and pounding into the middle of a massive Cedar Falls line Friday night at Kingston Stadium despite getting gang-tackled time and again.

Same for his club, which battled the state’s top-ranked 4A team all night, even after costly mistakes at inopportune times kept putting them deeper in a hole they couldn’t escape.

Washington gave up 14 quick points in the first three minutes of the game and finally fell, 31-16, after getting nine gut-check points in 30 seconds late in the fourth quarter.
