Huskies dash AGWSR playoff hopes

ACKLEY – Nashua-Plainfield defeated AGWSR, 42-8, at AGWSR High School on Friday.

The Cougars (3-4, 2-4 district) end the season with a non-district game at winless West Fork. The Cougars are one loss behind BCLUW and Hudson in the district standings, who wrap up the regular season against Wapsie Valley and Nashua-Plainfield, respectively. If BCLUW and Hudson lose, Hudson is guaranteed to win a three-way tiebreaker via point-differential.

Kaden Abbas scored a touchdown on 23 carries for 86 yards. Bo Gerbracht added seven carries for 52 yards.

Defensively, Ben Puente made 15 total tackles for the Cougars, including 2.5 tackles for a loss. Gerbracht and Abbas added five tackles each.

The Cougars turned the ball over six times - four lost fumbles, two interceptions – and the Nashua-Plainfield running game averaged 7.5 yards per carry for nearly 300 yards of rushing.
