Waukon football senior Michael Schulte (#75 at right) creates a hole for sophomore Mitchell Snitker (#8 at left) to breeze through for part of his 100-yard rushing effort in the Indians’ 30-27 Homecoming win over Waterloo Columbus Friday, October 2. Snitker racked up 107 yards and one 10-yard touchdown on 17 carries, caught three passes for one 20-yard touchdown and 45 total yards, and also had one solo and three assisted tackles in the win. In addition to aiding Snitker and the Indians’ other offensive efforts, Schulte also wrapped up two solo tackles and four assisted stops on defense, including two assisted quarterback sacks and one solo tackle for a loss of yardage.

The Waukon football survived a dormant second half to outlast the visiting Sailors of Waterloo Columbus for a 30-27 Homecoming victory Friday, October 2. The Indians had rolled up 22 points in a productive second quarter to bolt to a 30-12 halftime advantage, but then silent on the offensive side of the ball for the entire second half, holding off a late Columbus charge during that same timeframe and surviving a potential game-tying field goal that missed its mark in the game’s final 1:20. The Homecoming victory improves the Indians to a 5-1 overall record that bettered to a 2-1 mark in Class 2A District 3 play. The Tribe will head to New Hampton this Friday, October 9 to take on a Chickasaw team yet undefeated against District 3 opponents but sporting a 4-2 overall season record after a 40-13 victory at Oelwein this past Friday, October 2.
