Waukon football team suffers first loss in battle of top-10 rated teams at North Fayette Valley

One of the most anticipated match-ups on the Iowa high school football schedule from this past Friday, September 25 turned out one of the least anticipated results, as the top-five rated Waukon football team suffered a 48-8 loss at top-10 rated North Fayette Valley in Class 2A District 3 play. In a match-up touted as the Indian air game vs. the TigerHawk ground game, host North Fayette Valley racked up 430 yards on the ground while the Indian passing attack still managed 171 yards, but accounted for just one touchdown of just one yard and also gave up four interceptions in a 14-for-40 passing effort on a night when the Indian ground game managed just 86 yards.

Suffering their first loss of the 2015 season, the Indians now hold a 4-1 overall record that fell to an even 1-1 mark in Class 2A District 3 play. The Tribe will now return home to host Waterloo Columbus this Friday, October 2 for its annual Homecoming game. The Sailors are winless on the season, including a 43-27 home loss suffered against Oelwein this past Friday, September 25.
