The homecoming game ended in a 42-7 loss for the Indians who are now 0-7 on the season.

The game began with KML scoring off of a five-yard run in the first quarter.

Kewaskum’s defense held the opposing team from scoring again until the second quarter when KML added another touchdown to their score making it 14-0 going into the half.

“We played a very competitive first half and came up short on a fourth and goal which would have made it a 14-7 game going into halftime,” added coach Kreif.

Everett Donath led the team offensively with 45-rushing yards.

“Everett Donath, our tailback, ran the ball very well this week. He was definitely our bright spot offensively,” said the coach.

Johnny Hooker had 64-receiving yards and Landon Daniel was close behind with 50.

Defensively, Gabriel Halopka and Jude Johnson both put up nine total tackles on the night.

The Indians fought hard but were unable to pull off a win.
