Axtell Football Team
|
We’ll start with Axtell football as we highlight their entire team as part of our “Athletes of the Week”. The Eagles won the 8-Man Division-II State Championship this past weekend 44-18 over Wheatland/Grinnell.
It was the Eagles second State Title in school history and the first since 1993. Both State Title teams went a perfect 13-0.
The Eagles outscored their 13 opponents this season 704-160 which comes out to an average score of 54-12 each week.
The playoff run featured wins over St. John’s-Tipton, Hanover, Waverly, Thunder Ridge, and Wheatland/Grinnell and they outscored those five opponents 252-60.
The Eagles only had two seniors on the roster and will have most of their major contributors back next season as they will likely be the preseason #1 team in 8-Man Division-II as they will be in line for another State Championship.
