Home ›Strong start allows Kee football team to remain undefeated with another big district win, 66-39 at home against Springville
A strong start behind an even stronger running game allowed the Kee football team to break a recent grip the Springville football team has had on the Hawks. Having surrendered six of their past seven match-ups to the Orioles over the past nine seasons, including the past four in a row by no closer than a three-touchdown margin, the football Hawks jumped out to a 34-0 headstart over the Orioles through the first quarter-plus and then played nearly even football on the scoreboard for the game’s remainder to remain undefeated on the season with a 66-39 home victory Friday, September 10.
Despite snapping that four-game skid against a traditionally-strong Springville squad that is winless yet this season, Kee football head coach Chad Winters would still like to see a more focused complete-game effort from his now 3-0 squad. After bolting to their 34-0 early edge, the Hawks were outscored by a 39-32 result over the game’s nearly entire three final quarters.
Kee will now travel to Midland High School in Wyoming, IA to play Eight-Player newcomer Calamus-Wheatland this Friday, September 17. Having played a Week 0 game to start this season, the Warriors are yet winless in four tries this year after coming off a 76-31 loss at Central Elkader this past Friday and being outscored 150-12 in their three prior games.
“We need to have a great week of practice as we prepare to face Cal-Wheatland next Friday night,” Coach Winters said.
Kick-off this Friday night will be at 7 p.m. The Hawks will return home the following Friday, September 24 for their Homecoming game in an Eight-Player District 5 match-up with Central Elkader.
