The Audubon Wheelers had a sharp 42-18 win against the Woodbine Tigers on Friday night thanks to an overwhelming rushing attack and physical defense. The Wheelers did not waste much time scoring first with a 31-yard dashing score by Aaron Olsen to put Audubon up 6-0, barely two and a half minutes into the ball game. Woodbine’s response was to look to their pass game and quarterback Brody Pryor to lead them down the field. After a few meticulous throws by Pryor, he handed the ball off to Micah Moores from nine yards out to tie it up at 6-6. A few plays later, Audubon quarterback found Olsen down the sideline on a 29-yard touchdown throw giving Audubon a 12-6 lead that they would never relinquish for the rest of the night.
In the following series the Wheelers defense held firm forcing a punt that was botched near the goal line and scooped up by Audubon’s Ely Jorgensen for a defensive touchdown making the lead now 20-6. The defense for Audubon continued to control the line of scrimmage against the Tigers and that produced two more Audubon touchdowns, one a 15-yard catch and throw to Brody Weber, and the other a 58-yard touchdown sprint by Wessel. The game suddenly turned into a mismatch with the Wheelers now leading 34-6 midway through the second quarter. The second quarter did see a 62-yard touchdown pass from Pryor to Landon Blum, but that was diminished by the Woodbine’s two interceptions and turnover on downs near the endzone. At the half the Wheelers led 34-12.
The third quarter saw more miscues for Woodbine with a mishandled punt being leaked out from the tigers return man and recovered by the Wheelers inside the Tigers 20. Audubon would throw an interception of their own on the following drive to give Woodbine decent field position. But the Tigers ensuing drive would end in bitter fashion with an interception thrown into the endzone on a first and goal.
The Wheelers final score of the game was in the fourth quarter, on a third and goal from the Woodbine one yard line Wessel churned his way through multiple defenders to give his team one more touchdown. It was then a 42-12 ball game. The Tigers did have one more score left in them when Pryor connected with Dillon Reed from 27 yards away in the endzone to make a final 42-18 score.
On a night where a quarterfinal trip was on the line, the Audubon defense came through big time forcing four interceptions and key scoring opportunities on special teams. Olsen had another standout night for his team having two takeaways of his own. Wheelers head coach Sean Birks has been constantly impressed by the effort he has shown all year.
Coach Birks also gave praise to the way his defense held their composure throughout Friday’s battle.
The Audubon offense had 267 yards of rushing with Wessel accounting for 176 yards of it. The Wheelers also ran for three touchdowns. Friday’s win was not only special for coach Birks because of the advancement in the playoffs, but also because the victory marked 100 career wins for Birks.
Woodbine was ked in offense by Pryor passed for 289 yards and two touchdowns. Moores was the leading rusher with 13 carries, 35 yards, and one touchdown. Friday’s win propels Audubon to the quarterfinals against Remsen St. Marys next Thursday night. The Tiger’s loss ends their season with a final record of 8-2.

(Radio Iowa) – Black Friday is just a few weeks away, launching another holiday shopping season, but a University of Iowa study finds people who are lonely may find themselves unable to resist the impulse to buy. Marketing Professor Alice Wang, in the U-I’s Tippie College of Business, says loneliness is different for everyone, but if someone perceives themselves as having a relationship deficit, they may be more susceptible to compulsive shopping.
In the U-I study, Wang says they asked people to think about their existing relationships, and to elaborate on them in writing, perhaps how your current friends helped you through a tough time. Such an exercise can help to change perspectives, she says, and change habits.
Of course, there’s no magic number of friends we all require, it depends on the individual, but Wang says some of us may benefit from focusing less on what we don’t have and more on all we -do- have.
As we near the holidays, she suggests people who may be feeling lonely and isolated take stock of the good things in their lives, possessions -and- people, and work to monitor themselves so they don’t buy things they don’t need.
(Radio Iowa) – State climatologist Justin Glisan (like listen) says the rain across the state this week helped bump the month of October down the dry weather record book.
He says much of the state got some rainfall to impact the average for October, which still ended up below normal.
The storms that brought the late October rain also brought in some cold weather — including some snowflakes in northern Iowa. Glisan says the lack of moisture impacted overall temperatures.
Glisan says the early indicators for November are showing the potential for above average temperatures, with a potential for more precipitation.
The Winneshiek County Auditor is raising concerns about Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate’s order to challenge the ballots of over two-thousand Iowans flagged as potential non-citizens. Radio Iowa’s O. Kay Henderson reports.
This (Friday) afternoon, a federal judge heard arguments in the lawsuit that alleges Pate’s order is violating the rights of Iowans who have recently become U-S citizens. Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird’s office defended the action and Bird says it’s about making sure legally cast votes aren’t cancelled out by non-citizens.
Secretary of State Pate says the federal government is refusing the share data that’s critical to ensuring only eligible U.S. citizens vote in our elections. The driver’s license data Pate used indicates at some point in the past two decades over two-thousand people who are on Iowa’s list of registered voters told the D-O-T they were legal residents, but not citizens of the United States.
(Radio Iowa) – The University of Northern Iowa is implementing a new curriculum for its teaching students this fall. Associate Dean Benjamin Forsyth says the curriculum is designed to better prepare students to teach in a changing classroom. One of the biggest changes will be improving teaching programs for English language learners .
Forsyth says the changes could also anticipate how students and educators are using A-I in the classroom.
More than 25-hundred undergrad and graduate students at U-N-I, or about one quarter of them, are studying education.
