Prairie pops Wahlert, 27-0
Break out the sweet soda.
Cedar Rapids Prairie used its version of the "Orange Crush" defense Friday in shutting down Dubuque Wahlert, 27-0, at John Wall Field.
Prairie (2-3, 1-1) held the Golden Eagles to just nine first downs and 89 rushing yards while piling up 25 first downs and 307 yards on the ground themselves.
"I learned from my dad," Prairie Coach Mike Morrissey said. "Adjust to what our kids do best. This year we had an experienced line coming back. Control the ball more. I think we've done that."
