The junior varsity Braves finished their season the right way, with a 26-8 victory against the Warhawks from North Mahaska.
The Braves played well and were full of excitement and enthusiasm on the field and sideline.
Defensively, the Braves were solid all night. The entire defense flowed well, got to the ball, and had a good tackling performance. They were also opportunistic, recovering a fumble and intercepting a pass as well as a big goal line stand late in the third quarter when the score was still 18-0.
Offensively, the Braves were able to do a little bit of everything. They ran the ball well, due to the push the offensive linemen were able to get up front, while the running backs ran hard and picked up yards when maybe there were not any to be had.
The junior varsity squad was able to throw the ball consistently, which has not happened for most of the season so it was good to see receivers and tight ends get in on some more action.
Coach Keith Sietstra said, “As coaches, we were so excited for kids to end our season on such a positive note. The junior varsity season can be grueling but they kept working hard and we ended the season with a 3-4 record.”
