JV Braves' football season concludes with a loss against the Warhawks


by Chelsey Moore
On Oct. 17, the JV football team played their final game against North Mahaska. The Braves ultimately lost with a score of 8 to 16.
Coach Keith Sietstra said, “Obviously, this game and season didn’t end on the positive note that we wanted it to, but we did see a lot of very good things tonight.”
Colton Maschmann set up the single touchdown with a 52 yard run with 6:42 left in the first quarter. Luke Goodman then scored the four-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion.  Jake Hasley also had a fumble recovery in the first quarter. 
Unfortunately, the JV Braves had four fumbles and one interception throughout the game.
Sietstra said, “I was pleased with the effort and intensity we ran with, just not in the execution of holding on to the football.” 
The defensive unit held up Mahaska on four different possessions inside the 15-yard line. 
The JV season ended with a record of 4-4.  The coaches are proud of the gains that the team made as the season went along. This season will be a very positive stepping stone for them and the football program in the future.
