The Warriors showed up in all aspects of the game against Kimball in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday, October 23, putting up nearly 600 all-purpose yards. Junior Tyson Jackson racked up 141 of those yards, putting him in second place for the school’s all-time record, just 527 yards behind Tim Pietz (2011).

On the defensive side, junior Kolton Vornhagen led with three tackles and eight assists. Junior Jaxson Folkers added two tackles, three assists, and a fumble recovery. Defensive Coach John Connot said, “They came in focused, knew their assignments, and executed the plan just the way we practiced."
