Warriors, J-Hawks collide in Round 2

Thu - 29 Oct Written by Metro Sports Report

The Washington Warriors and Jefferson J-Hawks began the 2015 high school football season back in August when they collided in the season-opener at Kingston Stadium.

Now one of them -- either the Warriors (9-1) or the J-Hawks (7-3) -- will see their season come to an end when they collide again in the second round of the Class 4A playoffs at 8 p.m. Monday at Kingston.

Washington topped Jefferson, 27-14, on Aug. 29 in the opener. The game was tied in the fourth quarter before the Warriors scored twice to claim the victory.

Both clubs won their playoff openers Wednesday night, with the Warriors skinning Cedar Falls 28-21 and the J-Hawks rolling to a 61-43 victory over Dubuque Senior after a slow start in Mount Vernon.

Warriors escape Cedar Falls, 28-21

Thu - 29 Oct Written by Jim Ecker

The Cedar Falls Tigers who played at Kingston Stadium on Wednesday night may have been the toughest No. 4 seed in the history of the high school football playoffs.

Just ask the Washington Warriors. Fortunately for the Warriors, they survived to talk about it.

Washington rallied for a 28-21 victory over Cedar Falls in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs with some magnificent individual performances and a big-play defense in the second half.

Warriors blitz Burlington, 48-0

Fri - 23 Oct Written by Tom Fruehling

It took Washington scatback Tavian Patrick awhile to get off the snide Friday night.

Going into the regular season finale against Burlington at Kingston Stadium, the shifty 5-foot-8 senior needed just 23 yards to reach the 2,000-yard milestone for his career.

He didn’t get there until his sixth carry of the game when he ran for 19 yards with just under two minutes to go in the first half. For good measure, he then dashed 33 yards for a touchdown that was called back for holding but followed right back with 30 more yards.

Another touchdown, this time a 10-yard pass from TJ Vogel to Isaiah Nimmers, was nullified by a penalty. Patrick hit paydirt on the next play, though, and that put Washington up 41-0 at halftime.

It was, obviously, a one-sided mismatch as the Warriors scored once more under a continuous clock in the entire second half and notched their first shutout of the season, 48-0.
