The Kee football team had its hopes of staying alive for a seventh consecutive season of qualifying for the Eight-Player State Play-Offs brought to a halt Friday, October 16. Untimely injuries this season had put the football Hawks in a position of fighting for their play-off lives with two recent losses to Eight-Player District 4 opponents, and facing District 4’s cream of this season’s crop in undefeated and top-10 rated Central Elkader did the Hawks even fewer favors, as the visiting Warriors handed the host Hawks a 58-15 defeat to officially eliminate Kee from postseason play for the first time in the past seven seasons.

Putting together its most complete game of the season, the Waukon football team played a bit of King of the Mountain with Class 2A District 3’s lone undefeated team in district play when the Indians traveled to New Hampton Friday, October 9 and dealt the host Chickasaws a 46-13 dismantling. The Indians nearly doubled up New Hampton in total offensive yards, racking up 473 yards of total offense while limiting the Chickasaws to just 241 total yards, the Tribe’s 261 yards through the air surpassing New Hampton’s total yardage all by itself and resulting in five of the Indians’ six touchdowns in the game. The victory improves the Indians to a 6-1 overall record that bettered to a 3-1 mark in Class 2A District 3 play to force that four-way tie atop the District 3 standings. The football Tribe will wrap up its regular season home schedule this Friday, October 16 by hosting Center Point-Urbana (CPU).
