With two teams on the road, and four hosting games last weekend, there was lots of action for high school football fans across the Allen County area, with local teams going 4-2 in Friday night action.

Iola flexes muscles in 34-7 win over Anderson County

David Daugharthy’s Mustangs are 2-3 and 1-0 in the Pioneer League after a big home win over Anderson County. While the Mustangs have only allowed 122 points in five games, they are only scoring 20 per game. They will have to tune that up this week as Iola has a big home game against a team that has allowed fewer than 100 points all season.

Prairie View comes into Iola sitting at 4-1 and undefeated in district play. 

Humboldt rolls over West Franklin 50-7

The Cubs move to 4-1 after a 50-7 thrashing of West Franklin. Running back Trey Sommer accounted for 174 total yards and a 9.4 yards per rush average as Humboldt stayed undefeated on the road at 3-0. Over five games, Humboldt has still yet to allow 100 points on the season and is scoring 32.8 points per game.
