Superior football team wins over Fillmore Central

Last Friday, Oct 2, the Superior Wildcat football team traveled to Fillmore Central in Geneva to play, and came home with a win.

Coach Heusinkvelt's said, "It was a great night to run the ball. We finally had the might we have been waiting for. The linemen did an amazing job blocking for Dane Miller, Elijah Heusinkvelt and Clayton Morris. We also gained some passing yards at key parts of the game to give us some first downs. Our defense played well at times, but we still need to not make key mistakes that ended up letting Fillmore back in the game. I am very proud of the team and their efforts."
