North Tama is in the running for two different items in KWWL’s “Friday Night Heroes”. That’s the link to the sports page, as the voting changes every week. NT vs. Wapsie Valley was last week’s GOTW, but let’s do it again!
First is the voting for tomorrow’s “Game of the Week”: NT against top-ranked Hudson. In 1997, a rainy 7-6 loss to the Pirates in the second-to-last game of the season kept the Redhawks out of the Class 1A playoffs. Now the two teams are back in the same district, and this game could determine the district champion if everything goes well.
Second is the “Play of the Week” from last week: “Skylar Staker (North Tama) 17 yard game-winning touchdown pass to Hale Hulme in final minute” against Wapsie Valley. What’s interesting is that WV has its own play from the same game in the voting, an 88-yard kickoff return. The game was played at Upper Iowa University in Fayette because of playing conditions at Wapsie, the Waterloo Courier reported.
Happy Homecoming and Go Redhawks!
