The heavy rains across northeast Iowa were definitely a factor for any football team on the gridiron Friday night and it was no exception for South Winn (2-3) as they hosted AGWSR (1-4) for homecoming. The Warriors came out on top in district action, 16-14.
We had to adjust the game plan a bit earlier in the day after seeing the change in the forecast,” said Coach Jason Ohrt. “I was pleased with how we protected the football most of the night. Other than one 3rd and long pass play, and losing control on the opening play of the game, our defense played extremely well versus a very talented running back and big offensive line. Our backs ran extremely hard and we were getting solid pushes up front from our offensive line. Tristen Bodensteiner played a great game at the center position and Kyle Kuboushek ran for over 100 yards. We are learning how to close out these tough contested ball games. This is something we struggled with early in the season. I feel really good about the growth and maturation of this football team.”
The run down
Following a scoreless first period, a pass strung between Braiden Todd and Carson Streeter put the Warriors on the scoreboard 7-0. Kyle Kuboushek’s 4-yard scamper in the third quarter put South Winn out front 14-0. However, the visiting Cougars returned the ensuing kick-off 70 yards and scored on a 28-yard pass in the third period to make it 14-12, thanks to the pair of two-point conversions stopped by the Warriors. Sacking the AGWSR quarterback in the end zone, Parker Timp scored South Winn’s final two points in the fourth quarter.
Good experience
Despite the rain, Braiden Todd connected for four passes for 34 yards with Carson Streeter and Brody Tieskoetter each hauling a pair down. In the ground game, Kuboushek did the bulk of the damage with 106 yards on 28 carries. Timp gathered another 35 yards with 10 touches while Brady Ohrt carried the pigskin 10 times for 44 yards.
Defensively it was Ohrt there for six solo stops while Todd had five solo drag downs. With four solo tackles apiece were B. Tieskoetter and Timp.
