(Cedar Falls, IA) — Audubon will take on Gladbrook Reinbeck in the 8 Man Semifinals from the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls on Wednesday; coverage on KSOM.
Its the 2nd straight trip to the Dome for the Wheelers who lost to Bishop Garrigan last year in the semis — the Rebels are making their 4th straight trip to the Dome and also lost in the semifinals last year to Woodbine. Audubon Head Coach Sean Birks knows Glad Rein Head Coach John Olson well and has tremendous respect for his program
Glad Rein is led by two way star Trey Herron who has rushed for 1,431 yards and 33 TD plus 8 catches for 166 more yards and 3 receiving TD plus is 2nd on the team in tackles with 54 including 17 for a loss. Birks says there are a lot of pluses
Audubon is led by Junior QB Aiden Kjergaard with 1,929 rushing yards and 38 TD, averaging nearly 14 yards a carry plus Junior Tailback Mason Kasperbauer with 891 yards and 15 TD. Gladbrook Reinbeck Head Coach John Olson knows they are good but wants to avoid the big plays
Olson says his team is underrated on the eastern side of the state
Overall, Birks does not want a repeat of what his team did in the Dome last year
