animals will be selling for a $20 dona-

fund. Checks can be made payable to

a 1-yd run by Xavier Torres with 4:13 remaining
in the third quarter to make it a 23-14 game.
Then in the final stanza Everett Bueter scored
from nine yards out and it was clear the mo-
mentum was on the side of the Indians. Bueter
then scored again, this time a 20-yard run, with
3:22 left in the ball game and Wauseon had its
first lead of the night at 28-23. Napoleon’s final
drive was ended when freshman Connor Penrod
intercepted a pass on fourth down to secure the
come from behind win for the Indians. It was
again the Indian running attack leading the way
with Bueter gaining 126 yards on 17 carries
and two scores and Junior Martinez adding 105
rushing with a touchdown. Torres accounted for
56 yards and a touchdown as Wauseon rushed
for 292 yards as a team. Wauseon (3-0) returns
