The AHSTW Vikings powered their way to a 35-14 win over Southwest Valley in the 2nd Round of the Class A Playoffs on Friday night in Avoca. AHSTW kept their record unblemished on the season and advance on to the Quarterfinals next week.
The game started with a bang as Cole Scheffler took the opening kickoff back 60 yards for a touchdown. Scheffler said they thought they could get one in the game.
The scoring went quiet for a while after that with the next five possessions ending in 2 turnovers, 2 punts, and a missed field goal. The Timberwolves missed a 35-yard field goal attempt by Evan Timmerman and the Vikings marched the other direction 80 yards in 9 plays, capping off the drive with a 12 yard touchdown pass from Kyle Sternberg to Cole Scheffler. That made it 14-0 Vikings with :34 left in the first quarter. Southwest Valley eventually punched in a score on a 21 yard run by Timmerman to make it 14-7 with 2:43 left in the half. AHSTW punched back with a 25 yard touchdown pass from Sternberg to Luke Sternberg with :26 left in the half to make it 21-7 at the break.
Southwest Valley came out of the halftime break and powered down the field with a 18-play, 69-yard drive that took 8:39 off the clock. They finished it with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Evan Timmerman to Devin Greenwalt on 4th and Goal. AHSTW again answered the bell. The Vikings responded with an 11-play 63-yard drive, capped with a 1-yard touchdown run by Luke Sternberg to push the lead back to two scores at 28-14. The rest of the game-clock melted away on mostly stalled drives. The Vikings added their last score as they were grinding out the clock on a 31-yard pass from Sternberg to Nick Denning.
AHSTW Head Coach GG Harris thought his guys reacted well to every challenge in the game.
Coach Harris said it was the type of game that prepares them for the next challenge.
The Vikings improved to 10-0 on the season and will travel to face a 10-0 Lynnville-Sully team next Friday at 7:00 p.m. We’ll have coverage of that game on KJAN.

Adam Gregg was the first to speak to a crowd gathered in front of 511 Chestnut Street.

She said the excitement about change is palpable.

Reynolds said these are “crazy times,” thanks to the Biden administration.
Reynolds introduced Congressman Randy Feenstra, a candidate for U-S Representative in District 4, who said there is a lot of work to be done with the federal government, including overcoming a progressive liberal agenda by “Biden, by Pelosi and Schumer,” and are willing to destroy the country. He cited the open border, and the purchase of foreign oil.
Senator Zach Nunn mentioned his opponent in the General Election, 3rd District Democrat incumbent Cindy Axne.
He said they have great leadership ready to take control of the country, and it can be possible if people get out and vote.
Guthrie County Attorney/Prosecutor Brenna Bird spoke during the rally. She’s running for Iowa Attorney General, a title currently being held by Democrat Tom Miller, who is running for re-election. She spoke about “Backing the Blue,” and mentioned Cass County Sheriff Darby McLaren, who appears in one of her TV ads.
She referred to her opponnent Tom Miller, as a “Long-time lazy liberal who got elected in the 70’s. Senator Roby Smith, the Republican candidate for State Treasurer, also spoke briefly, as did Senator Tom Shipley, from Nodaway, and Thomas Moore, from Griswold. Smith is running against incumbent Michael Fitzgerald. Incumbent Shipley faces a challenge by Tripp Narup. Afterward, those in attendance had a chance for a brief photo opportunity with the candidates, and to sign the bus in support of the “Red Wave.”
