The Oelwein game was one of the strangest lightning storms I have ever seen. After the Freshman game opened for the varsity contest, we had about an hour wait. The state rule is to start varsity games no sooner than 7:30. As the clouds began to roll in, we wondered if we would be able to start the contest with the storms to the North of us putting on quite the light display. As we stuck to the schedule, the pregame routine started to create a little spark of our own. By kick-off, it was time to flip the switch, and that is exactly what the boys did. With a balanced attack of rushing and passing, we found ourselves with a 42-0 lead with 9 minutes left in the second quarter. It was a full out substitution. With our second string on the field, we continued to march the ball and scored another TD when Jason Kauffmann plunged ahead for a six yard run. After a lengthy half-time, the officials postponed the game due to lightning. After a 45 minute wait, the game was called, ending with a 42-7 Bobcat victory over the Huskies. It was a strong first half display. Nolan Baumhover finished with 2 TD passes and a 7/8 passing performance for 150 yards. This half game of offense puts us second in the district in total offense with 2049 total yards, almost balanced at 1000 on the ground and 1000 in the air. This weeks homecoming game against a strong DeWitt team will be a great test of our play-off potential. Go Bobcats!
