lone wins last game, defeats Knights 52-30
By Paula Emmel
lone Cardinal foot
ball played its last game of
the season this past Friday
night in Condon. It was
freezing cold night, with
frost on the helmets of the
players and on the ground.
Both teams suffered some
injuries, taking players off
the held during their final
game. Kaleb Dumler o f
lone suffered a knee in
jury and Jacob Rietmann
o f Condon was knocked
out and taken by the am
bulance. N either player
returned to the game.
“Our offensive line
did an outstanding job. We
amassed 557 yards on the
ground with solid blocking
up front and some excellent
running by Micah Still
man and Evan Rietmann.
Despite the cold weather
and playing in Condon, the
team played with intensity
and responded well in some
tough situations on defense.
Early in the game, we held
Condon at the goal line for
four plays inside the four
yard line. We held them
again with seconds left in
the half when Condon was
awarded one more play at
the one-yard line with one
second on the clock,” said
Coach Stan Weiper.
Thomas scored two
touchdowns and one pat
for 14 points in the first
half for Condon/Wheeler,
lone answered the battle
cry by consistently scoring
touchdowns and converting
the pat every few minutes
or so during the first half.
Evan Rietmann scored on
a 53-yard run and a 79-yard
rush, and received a pass
for two points on the first
conversion—all in the first
quarter—for 14 points.
During the second
quarter of play, Rietmann
scored two more touch
downs on a 10-yard run and
a 33-yard run. Adam Collin
converted the first pat for
two points on a pass from
Zac Orem. The Condon
Knight, Thomas, scored
another touchdown. Much
to the Knight’s surprise,
Kirk Haguewood managed
to come up with an inter
ception on the seven-yard
line, with just 13.55 sec
onds left on the clock, and
Micah Stillman ran it back
93 yards for a touchdown
on the following play, run
ning much of the field all
by himself. That brought
the half-time score to 34-
14, lone.
lo n e ’s Rietmann
scored a touchdown on a
76-yard run, and Micah
Stillman turned a four-yard
run into a touchdown, for
12 points during the first
eight minutes of play in the
second half. Condon wasn’t
about to quit. The Knights
had an offensive spurt in the
third quarter, during the last
three minutes and 20 sec

onds, scoring 16 points.
In the final quarter,
lone came out with Evan
Rietmann scoring another
touchdown with a six-yard
run in the first four minutes,
bringing the score to 52-30.
lone and Condon were met
with several penalty calls to
make the final eight minutes
last a long time, with nei
ther team scoring again.
“ O v e ra ll,” said
Weiper, “the team finished
up the season strong and
represented them selves
very well. The seniors can
be proud of their accom
plishments and the younger
players should look forward
to continued success in the
future. One particular play
to note was an intercep
tion made by Kirk Hague
wood at the seven-yard line.
Whereby, on the next play
Micah ran 93 yards for a
touchdown. Although our
offense played very well,
it was our defense that
came up with huge plays
at critical times to preserve
the victory.”
lone defense was
supported by the tough
playing of Luke Emmel,
who filled in for injured Ka
leb Dumler on both offense
and defense. He played
well, utilizing his tackling
skills. Omar Juarez’s kick
ing ability proved strong for
his long and accurate kicks,
despite the cold weather.
Evan Rietmann and Micah
Stillman finished the season
strong, as evidenced by the
scoring. They scored all
the game points except for
Adam Collin’s two points.
And of course... the Cardi
nal defensive players, who
held the line of scrimmage
many times, are some tough
dudes. They deserve recog
nition for their hard work
this season. They include
Omar Juarez, Zac Orem,
Adam Collin, Tim Emmel,
Sam Irons, Kirk Hague
wood, Jordan Synder, Mi
cah Stillman, Trent Can
non, Evan Rietmann. Luke
Emmel and Kaleb Dumler.
The younger generation of
players will be something
to watch in the upcom
ing years. They include
Joel Stillman. T.J. Patton,
Zane King, Joe Doherty,
Bailey Haguewood, Zack
Irons, Lucas Jobes, Jordan
Braun, August Peterson,
Kaid Peck, Jason Thomp
son, Sam Gilbert, Stewert
Syverson, Tyrell Barnett,
Brandon Peck and some
o f the above-m entioned
defensive players.
