The Audubon Wheelers will be fighting to get back to the dome for the second time in three years when they travel to face WACO in the 8-Player football quarterfinals on Thursday. The Wheelers were State Runners-Up in 2019 and came up just shy of a semifinal trip again last year.

The Wheelers are coming off a very impressive road win in round 2 over Montezuma 62-14. The Wheelers dominated the top-ranked Braves from the outset and raced to the quarters. WACO also impressed in round 2 as they earned their way into the quarters with a road win over Martensdale-St. Marys 50-8.

WACO comes in at 10-0 on the season and their unblemished district mark earned them the home field this round. The Wheelers enter at 9-1.
