The Audubon Wheelers have been one of the most dominant and consistent teams in all of high school football.  The Wheelers have proven they can win with not only high-powered offense where they average 42 points per game and have scored 60+ points three different times, but they have shown they can put teams away with tough physical defense. The Wheelers have won two different one score games this year and have shown that they can compete and beat any team on any given Friday night. The Wheelers were able to have both sides of the ball last Friday night at Collins Maxwell where they defeated the Spartans 68-18. It was just 8-6 in favor of the Wheelers in the first quarter and the Spartans were able to keep close and competitive through the first half. The Wheelers took completely over in the third quarter where they won the quarter 34-0 and coach Sean Birks said the Wheelers were able to capitalize on getting short field.

The Wheelers wrapped up a district championship with the victory and were able to get all of their guys in the game to be a part of celebrating a season long goal.

The Wheelers are happy to have accomplished a long tough goal, but Coach Birks said his team is not satisfied and want to have home field through the playoffs with a win this week when they play the 5-2 Baxter Bolts.

The Wheeler defense will have their hands full with the Bolts quarterback Perrin Sulzle who comes in on the season with big numbers of 29 touchdown passes to just 4 interceptions and 1,979 passing yards. Coach Birks said the defense has to be solid and keep the Bolts guessing.

The Audubon Wheelers will secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win Friday night on the road at 5-2 Baxter in a highly anticipated football game. You can hear the full interview with Coach Birks below.
