Aplington-Parkersburg will travel to Dike-New Hartford to renew their annual rivalry Friday, which will air on 99 The Wave and RadioOnTheGo’s YouTube channel.
Each team is 1-0 after decisive wins in Week 1, though both coaches feel there’s growth to be made. The Wolverines were efficient on offense in their 42-0 win over Jesup. Gavin Gerbracht rushed for 151 yards, and Peyton Pokorny was 8/10 passing with four touchdowns while connecting with six different receivers. Head Coach Don Betts.
In AP’s 27-7 win over Grundy Center, they had great yardage balance in a run-heavy play call style. Mason Pruisner had 164 rushing yards and averaged nearly 10 yards per carry as the offensive line paved big running lanes. Coaching in the rivalry for the first time, Head Coach Zach Pfantz says the team is looking to bounce back from the recent history of the series.
DNH has won eight straight and 14 of the last 15 in the series, including 7-0 at Ed Thomas Field last year.
Pregame coverage will start at 6:15 p.m., followed by the kickoff at 7:00 at Gunderson Sports Complex.
