(Winterset) Winterset will bring a balanced attack when it hosts Atlantic in a non-district football game on Friday night. The Huskies defeated Creston 31-6 in week one, fell short of ADM 31-9 in week two, and topped Carlisle 28-26 last week.
Audio PlayerThe Huskies have had success throwing and running the football, with 527 passing yards and another 478 on the ground. Senior quarterback Hunter Lyon is 37-53 passing for 522 yards and three touchdowns. Wyatt Swanson and Jayden Cooper lead the receiving corp. with 188 and 178 yards, respectively. Hank Wilmes is the Huskies’ leading ball carrier, with 64 totes for 374 yards. Winterset Head Coach Zach Sweeney says balance means different things to different people.
Audio PlayerCoach Sweeney speaks highly of the way Atlantic is playing. The Trojans are 4-0 on the season heading into this final non-district contest at Winterset.
Audio PlayerCoach Sweeney says one of the keys for them on Friday will be yards gained on first down, something Atlantic has been able to do these last four games.
Audio PlayerThe Trojans have compiled 1,644 yards of offense in its first four games: 1,368 on the ground and 276 passing. Tyson O’Brien has 95 carries for 780 yards and five touchdowns. Gavin McLaren had 37 carries for 257, and Ethan McNeal for 153. Tristan Hayes is 11-22 passing for 276 yards and four touchdowns.
