It wasn’t how South Winn students and fans wanted to celebrate homecoming.
The Warrior football team (2-3, 2-2) hosted district-leader North Linn (4-1, 4-0) Friday night, falling 42-7.
“We knew going in we were facing a tough challenge. North Linn has a solid veteran group of kids, and they played a great game,” said Coach Jason Ohrt. “We moved the ball well at times, but credit North Linn’s defense as they limited our explosive plays for most of the night. I thought our kids did a nice job of gathering themselves at halftime as we came out and played a much better second half.”

A little review
The Warriors could do little to stop the North Linn offensive attack as the Lynx struck for two touchdowns in the first quarter for the early 13-0 lead. The Lynx continued to build up that lead with a 17-yard run, a 35-yard interception return, and a big 63-yard pass play in the second period. At halftime, the visitors were up 35-0.
Back on the gridiron in the second half, South Winn limited North Linn to just one touchdown in the third. It was the fourth quarter before the Warriors punched their own way into the endzone on a 3-yard plunge by Keagen Streeter.
A numbers game
The Warriors rushed for 162 yards and had 185 yards total.
K. Streeter carried the pigskin 14 times for 54 yards. Kaden Bullerman picked up 30 yards, while Parker Timp had 29. Brady Ohrt had three completions for 23 yards, finding Nolan Sabelka and Timp.
It was a collective defensive effort. Lucas Weiss and K. Streeter each had four solo tackles and one assisted tackle while freshman Braiden Todd had four solo stops. Bullerman had three solo and one assisted tackles.
