West manages to get past CR Kennedy, 35-28

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/12/2011 - 11:00pm

CEDAR RAPIDS– Coach Brian Sauser wasn’t the happiest man in Kingston Stadium last Thursday night, even though his West High Trojans defeated the Kennedy Cougars.
“We’ve got to play better football,” Sauser said.
The Trojans played just well enough to escape Kingston with a 35-28 win, but it almost went down to the wire. West held a 21-7 halftime advantage, but the two teams traded touchdowns throughout the second half.
The Cougars scored first with 4:56 left in the first quarter on a 41-yard run, and a good point-after-touchdown kick made it 7-0 Cougars.

“We were able to get off to a fast start because of our blocking and hitting against a pretty young Mustang team” Coach Bronzynski said. “That set the tone for the whole match.”
In the first game, CCA quickly built a 12-4 lead on a Tara Walls kill. The Clippers cruised to the 25-12 win, their lead never threatened.
