Sports

AHSTW is heading to the UNI-Dome next week for the Class A state semi-finals after a home win Friday night over Newman Catholic.  The Vikings scored first and posted a 31-14 win.  Gabe Pauley scored a pair of touchdowns, including a 56 yard run on the Vikings first offensive play of the game.  Blake Osbahr made a leaping interception in the end zone to stop a Newman Catholic drive in the first quarter after the Vikings had taken the 7-0 lead.

Osbahr said the Vikings had a good week of preparation.

AHSTW picked off 4 passes, including two by Drake Partridge.  Vikings coach Davis Pattee said the interceptions were big in helping his team control the game.

After falling behind in their last two games and having to rally to win, Pattee said it was nice to get an early lead.

Korbin Martin scored on a 41 yard jet sweep and Brayton Tuma caught a 64 yard pass from Osbahr.  AHSTW also got a 28 yard field goal from Kyle Brannon as they improve to 11-0.  Next up will be a Friday, November 9th 1:00 pm match-up with 10-1 Edgewood-Colesburg.  We’ll have that game on KJAN from Cedar Falls.
