Royals win again
WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (WFHR / WIRI) – In what has been a tough season for the four local high school football teams, the Assumption Royals are carrying the water in the win column, as it earned its second straight victory with a 32-26 in overtime over Iola-Scandinavia.
Nekoosa couldn’t rally past Wautoma, dropping a 25-28 decision while Port Edwards and Wisconsin Rapids were handed one-sided defeats; Port lost to Almond-Bancroft 59-6, and Rapids was dropped by Stevens Point, 56-0.
This week, Rapids and Nekoosa hit the road, with the Raiders going to Wausau West and the Papermakers going to Waupun.
Port will receive a forfeit victory over Bowler/Gresham, but will host Rosholt, while Assumption hosts Abbotsford.
The Royals and Falcons will be broadcast on 105.5 FM WIRI with pregame beginning at 6:50 p.m. with Mike Kommer and Randy Pahl on the call.
