Congrats to Cotter's Dane Guzzo who won last week’s poll as the Winona Daily News Football Shining Star. After reading the accomplishments of the stars, at the bottom of the story online will be a poll that runs until late in the week in which readers can vote on who they think should be the one Shining Star of the Week, with the winner’s shoutout coming in the next edition of the stars of the week. Bunke The Trojans (2-3 overall, 2-3 district) cruised to a 54-6 road win over Hayfield on Friday and Bunke was a key contributor on both sides of the ball.
On the offensive end, he led the way with 172 rushing yards on nine carries with one touchdown. As a linebacker, the senior tied for the team high with eight tackles, including two for loss, with one sack and an interception. Diaczun The Ramblers (3-2, 3-2) had a two-game winning streak snapped in a 42-14 road loss to Fillmore Central, but Diaczun made his presence felt as he led the Cotter defense.
Diaczun totaled a team-high 11 tackles, with three for loss, also adding one sack and a forced fumble. Meyer The Pirates (5-1, 3-1) dropped their first game of the season Friday 21-14 at home against Blair-Taylor, but Meyer’s strong defensive play helped C-FC build a 14-7 lead in the first half. The junior linebacker intercepted a pass deep in Wildcats territory on B-T’s third drive, then jumped on a loose ball for a fumble recovery one drive later.
Nation The Winhawks (1-4, 0-2) could not overcome one of the district’s to.
