Fort Dodge back on road in Waterloo

WATERLOO – The score certainly caught the attention of Nik Moser’s Fort Dodge football team. Waterloo East 68, Marshalltown 22. Last week’s rout by the Trojans - which came on the road in the Bobcats’ 2026 home debut - may have surprised a lot of people. Moser wasn’t exactly one of them. “This is by far the best East has been in my seven years (as head coach),” Moser said. “They’re very talented at the skill positions and can do some damage if you aren’t fundamentally sound (defensively). “Anytime a team scores 68 points, especially on the road, it opens your ...

Gaels in win column again

NEWELL - Matt Dillon felt an added sense of importance going into last Friday’s district opener with Newell-Fonda. Yet with the way the contest started, the veteran head coach felt extremely nervous. St. Edmond would settle in, though, putting together a second straight balanced offensive performance in what wound up being a convincing 40-28 victory over the Mustangs. Thomas Ehn completed 17 of 35 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns - adding a third rushing score - and Matthew Crimmins ran for 106 yards and reached the end zone three times to lead the Gaels (2-1 overall, 1-0 ...
