The Audubon Wheelers look to defend on their home field again against the Clarksville Indians. The Wheelers carry an undefeated 9-0 record and plenty of momentum into the contest following a dominant 54-12 victory over East Union. Although the Wheelers struggled in the first quarter going scoreless against the Eagles. They look to handle the ball better and have less turnovers overall.
That was Wheeler’s head coach Sean Birks. Audubon’s high-powered offense continues to operate through junior quarterback Aiden Kjergaard, who orchestrates the attack with 665 passing yards and 11 touchdowns while doing heavy damage on the ground with 1,428 rushing yards and 29 scores. Out wide, junior playmaker Hudson Hocker serves as a dynamic threat, hauling in 355 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns.
Defensively, the Wheelers bring a physical, disruptive unit featuring 340.5 total tackles, a staggering 78.0 tackles for loss, 23.0 sacks, and 11 fumble recoveries. The Wheelers look to keep rolling this game behind their high-powered attack, facing a Clarksville squad led by senior standout Nathan Moon, who enters with 1,794 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns. Audubon will look to play their style of football, lean on their stellar defense, and take care of the football as the key to advancing.
