Two teams U don't want to see in the playoffs - KWL & WWSSC
Sep 30, 2017
By Rich Winter
Well, we are starting to head toward the stretch run of the prep-football regular season. From here on in, teams are going to be BATTLING. A ton of football left to go but the weeks are dwinding and teams across the state are pushing for playoff positioning while ironing out the LITTLE things that may have hampered efforts early in the year.
That said, I'm keeping my eyes on two teams: Kimball/White-lake (KWL) and Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central (WWSSC).
Alright, so Kimball/White Lake ran up a big number yesterday, putting 62 on Ipswich/Edmunds Central.
Finally some breathing room for KWL who easily had the TUFFEST 9AA schedule in the state this year. A nice win over Wolsey-Wessington last week suddenly looks better after W/W beat Parkston on Friday night.

Just two games left on the schedule...At home against Platte-Geddes and then kind of a tricky one at Lyman, in Presho. Taylor's once 0-4 team could finish 4-4 and with the strength of schedule and the improvements all year, this is a dangerous 9AA squad.
KWL BIG NUMBERS:
* 433 yards of total offense
* Jackson Nockles - 121 yards rushing TD
* Javen Holan - 95 yards rushing
* Cody Westendorf 64 yards - TD, 7 tackles
* Dylan Mohnen - 82 yards passing
* Kezery LeBeau - 5 tackles, sack, TD
Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central
I think a lot of people forgot about Jason Kolousek's Blackhawks after getting spanked around by Bridgewater/Ethan/Emery, 33-0. Well, you take a shellacking like that as a team and you either dig down or DIG OUT.
WWSSSC - Well, they have DUG OUT

A win over MVP, kind of a snoozer over an 0-6 Redfield/Doland squad. But, that 26-13 win at Chamberlain is impressive as the Blackhawks defense might be one of the hardest hitting in the 11B ranks.
On Friday, the Blackhawks got it rolling by thumping a 5-1 Stanley County squad, 42-14.
Some big numbers from Friday:
* WWSSC is now 5-1 on the year
* John Witte - 3 TD's
* Trent Kinsbury - 2 TD's
* Trey Ulmer - Punt return TD, Receiving TD
The Blackhawks travel to Aberdeen Central and then close the season, AT HOME, against Winner....and that looks like it might be a HELL of a ball game!
