KIWA Broadcaster Pick ‘Em Week 5 Results

No movement at all after week 5 for the Pick ‘Em. Every broadcaster went 7-4, so the margins stay the same heading into week six as LA can breath a sigh of relief and still claim the top dog moniker for another week. Heelan losing to SB-L caught everyone off guard as well as South O’Brien. The Rankings proved useless going 7-5 on the week as well. We’ll have to wait and see next week if LA has what it takes to keep the top from Jon or The Coach

Sioux Center Spoils Sheldon Homecoming

Sheldon Iowa — Sioux Center broke open a close game with two long time consuming drives in the second half as they turned a 26-21 halftime lead into a 40-21 win.

Sioux Center made it 14-0 on a 3 yard keeper by Keift with 1:20 left in the first following a successful point after.

Sheldon got on the board in the second quarter as they went 56 yards in 7 plays. The finish was a 10 yard Jaden Kleinhesselink run. Jake Roos added a 2-point conversion and the Orabs were within 14-8 with 11:56 left in the second quarter.

Sioux Center responded with a Dalton Schreiner 1 yard run. A 2-point attempt was no good and the lead was 20-8 with 9:18 left in the half.

Sheldon came right back with a 2 play 67 yard drive capped by a 66 yard touchdown pass from Jaden to Colby Kleinhesselink. Parker Nissen added the extra point and Sheldon had cut the lead to 20-15 with 8:25 left in the half.

Sioux Center was on the board again as Ko Keift hit Marcus Winterfeld for a 25 yard touchdown. The kick was blocked and the lead was 26-15 with 6:31 left in the half.

Sheldon cut the lead to 26-21 following a fumble recovery by Colby Kleinhesselink. The 11 play 55 yard drive was finished with a 7 yard pass from Jaden to Phillip Cain.

The second half belonged to Sioux Center as they used a pair of long time consuming drives to put the game away. The first was capped by a 10 yard Keift to Winterfeld pass and the second ended on a 33 yard pass from Keift to Blake Kammerman to make the final 40-21 in favor of Sioux Center.

Strong 2nd Half Powers Nighthawks Victory

Rock Valley, Iowa — Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley defeated Central Lyon/George Little Rock 21-7 at Nick Hulst field in Rock Valley Friday night.

Central Lyon/George-Little Rock would get on the board first midway through the 2nd quarter after a defensive struggle throughout the first quarter. CJ Roths would set up the TD by scampering 52 yards to the Nighthawk 4. Then Roths would power it in for the 4 yard score making it 7-0 with 6:32 left in the first half and that would be the score heading into halftime.

Boyde-Hull/Rock Valley would make the necessary adjustments coming into the 2nd half though. Facing a 4th down deep in Lion territory, Brett Moser would hit a wide open Kyle Bakker in the endzone to knot it up at 7’s with 5:31 left in the 3rd quarter. The Nighthawks would get on the board again late in the 3rd as Brett Moser would take a 38 yard highlight reel run all the way to the CL/GLR 2 yard line. Kyle Van Ginkel would punch it in for the 2 yard score, making it 14-7 in favor of the Nighthawks late in the 3rd. BHRV would add another score early in the fourth when Myles Van Maanen found an opening and took it 73 yards to the house making it 21-7 with 9:05 left in the game, and that would be your final as the Nighthawks came away with the non-district win.

Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley improves to 4-1 on the season and heads to Heelan next Friday.

Central Lyon/George-Little Rock falls to 1-4 and heads to Okoboji next week.
