Pardeeville (0-1, 0-1) @ Waterloo (1-1, 0-1) – 7pm

Waterloo will try and bounce back from last Friday night’s tough 20-12 non-conference loss to Cambria-Friesland.  Eugene Wolff’s 143 yards rushing and TD was a bright spot in the defeat.  Pardeeville returns to the gridiron after taking a two week COVID break.  The Bulldogs dropped their only game of the season at home to Cambridge 45-24 back on September 25th.   Senior QB Peter Freye threw for a pair of scores and ran for another in the loss.

The Goslings hammered Sauk Prairie 43-16 to end a three game home stand to start the season at 2-1.  Benji Kamrath’s Goslings are known as a passing team, but have done it on the ground this season.  As a team, Watertown has rushed for 572 yards and 10 TDs compared to just 372 yards passing and just one TD through the air.  QB Caleb Huff has rushed for 162 yards and a team leading 5 TDs.  Senior Dylan Sippel leads the Goslings in rushing with 181 yards and 2 TDs.   Nathan Kehl (2) and Taylor Walter (1) have also rushed for scores this season.  Lake Mills enters tonight’s game ranked #6 in this week’s wissports.net Division 4 Coaches Poll.  The L-Cats are led by senior QB Adam Moen who has already thrown for 832 yards and 7 TDs.  He’s also rushed for 186 yards and six TDs.
