(Underwood, IA) — It is now must win time for Underwood if they want to make the playoffs. The Eagles still have an outside shot at the #2 seed depending on what happens with AHSTW. But the third seed is more realistic but it must start with a win tonight at Missouri Valley. Underwood has played a difficult schedule with losses to Van Meter, Kuemper, AHSTW, and last week 24-23 in OT to Treynor. Head Coach Nate Mechaelsen says they are only 5 points away from being undefeated in the district
While Garrett Luett has thrown for 1,024 yards and Will Buckholdt has ran for 406 since coming back from injury, Mechaelsen says Lucas Bose Jr. has flown under the radar as a contributor on offense, defense and special teams
Tonight Underwood takes on the winless Big Reds. Mechaelsen is focused on his team, trying to avoid mistakes and hopes the little things will go their way this week
2-4 Underwood visits 0-6 Missouri Valley
