Ethan Klocke

Ethan Klocke scored on the first play from scrimmage and the Audubon Wheelers never looked back in a 55-0 win over Exira-EHK on Friday night. The Wheelers hit paydirt on their first seven possessions of the game and pulled away 49-0 by halftime. The second half melted away fast with a running clock in place.

Ethan Klocke busted off a 65-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game. He would later add a 49-yard touchdown reception from Gavin Smith and another 17-yard touchdown run toward the end of the first half. Ethan finished with 131 total yards, 82 of those on the ground. Joel Klocke had a big night as well with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Gavin Smith played well at quarterback for the Wheelers and scored on two touchdown runs and racked up 138 yards on the ground to go along with 65 passing yards.

The line of scrimmage was a big story of the game as well. The Wheelers had to replace three seniors that played both ways up front and the new wave of lineman played very well against the Spartans. Joey Schramm and Garrett Christensen got in the backfield a number of times on the night and reeked havoc on the Spartan offense.

Exira-EHK was led by 96 yards passing and 24 rushing from senior quarterback Tyler Petersen. The Spartans had a tough time getting anything consistent going on offense and only got deep into Wheeler territory once.

Audubon will move on to host Ar-We-Va next week. Exira-EHK travels to Woodbine next week.
