Wynot collects easy win over Wausa
WYNOT — The Wynot Blue Devils picked up another win on Friday afternoon in their Homecoming football game against the Wausa Vikings.
The 6-0 Blue Devils’ offense was on full display as Wynot rolled to the 52-6 win. The home team scored four times through the air and had three rushing touchdowns in the contest.
“Despite the score, this was a physical game and I thought our guys played hard, especially the defense in the second half,” Wynot head coach Steve Heimes said.
Dylan Heine led the Blue Devils’ offense, hitting 13-of-19 pass attempts for 205 yards. Joseph Sudbeck was his leading target with seven catches for 132 yards.
Wausa’s leader on offense was Matthew Schindler with 24 rushes for 84 yards and a touchdown. Mac Carlson helped with 12 carries for 56 yards.
On defense, Wynot got 10 tackles from Zack Foxhoven and six stops each from Chase Schroeder and Alex Sudbeck.
Wausa’s defense was paced by Carlson with six tackles while Tucker Wright and Jyler Petersen each had four stops.
Wynot got on the board early in this game on its opening series it marched 50 yards to pay dirt.
Foxhoven capped the drive with a 15-yard sweep around the right side for the score. Heine hit Joseph Sudbeck for the two-point conversion as Wynot led 8-0 early.
The Vikings (3-3) were able to move the ball on their second offensive possession, but the Blue Devils’ defense stiffened in the red zone and the drive stalled at the 10-yard line.
Wynot then put together another drive. Fueled by a 11-yard first-down run by Foxhoven and a 32-yard catch-and-run by Joseph Sudbeck, the Blue Devils were in business again. Heine then connected with Schroeder on a fade to the right corner of the end zone to complete the drive. Carson Wieseler caught the two-point conversion pass to increase Wynot’s lead to 16-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The Blue Devils’ defense continued to bottle up the Vikings’ offense in the second quarter.
Wynot struck quickly on their next offensive series. A 44-yard bomb from Heine to Joseph Sudbeck set up this score. Heine found Alex Sudbeck over the middle for the 11-yard touchdown to finish the drive. Heine hit Joseph Sudbeck for the two-point conversion as the Blue Devils’ lead had grown to 24-0.
Wausa mounted a drive late in the half thanks to the hard running of Schindler and Carlson.
The Vikings capped the drive on a 22-yard sweep around the right side of Wynot’s line by Schindler. The two-point conversion run was no good, but Wausa was on the scoreboard trailing 24-6.
Wynot mounted one final drive of the first half, but the Vikings’ defense met the challenge as they stopped the Blue Devils on downs at their own seven-yard line. The half ended with Wynot leading 24-6.
The Blue Devils opened the third quarter on the march for another score after a kickoff return to their own 34-yard line by Joseph Sudbeck set up a short field. Three plays later, Joseph Sudbeck got behind Wausa’s defense and Heine hit him for a 23-yard scoring toss. The two-point conversion try was no good as Wynot’s lead had grown to 30-6.
The Vikings went three-and-out on their offensive possession and Wynot was driving again.
A pitch sweep on the right side was fumbled by Joseph Sudbeck, but he picked it up, avoided a couple of would-be Viking tacklers and skirted up the right sideline for an 18-yard score. Heine went over the top to Schroeder for the two-point conversion as the Blue Devils were rolling 38-6.
Wynot added another score at the 3:20 mark of the third period when Foxhoven took an option pitch around the right side and raced 36 yards for the touchdown. Heine hit Alex Sudbeck for the two-point conversion to make the score 46-6 and implement the running clock.
The final quarter moved along quickly. Reserves mopped up for the Blue Devils. Wynot added one final score on a 37-yard pass from Devin Brummer to Braylon Hans. The two-point conversion run was stopped, giving Wynot the 52-6 lead.
The game was called at the 6:20 mark of the fourth quarter after the ambulance was called for an injured Vikings player.
