The Waukon football team got off to a quick start in its season and home opener against Class 1A top-five rated South Winneshiek Friday, August 29, the Indians scoring right away on the game’s third play from scrimmage. The momentum of that quick Indian score, however, was methodically worn away by a strong Warrior ground game and more stoic defensive effort, the combination of which outgained the Indians, 265-39, on the way to a 34-12 Indian defeat.
The Indians are next slated to renew a gridiron rivalry absent for several seasons at the home of fellow Northeast Iowa Conference school Decorah this Friday, September 5. The Class 3A Vikings come off a 14-0 loss to Class 2A top-five rated North Fayette Valley in their season opener this past Friday, August 29.
