North Fayette Valley made a successful entry in the record books, winning its debut game, 33-0, Friday, Aug. 31, in Postville.

Afterwards, head coach Bob Lape commented, “It was a good night all around. We were able to play a lot of kids on both sides of the ball, and they played pretty well. We’re not content, but we’re satisfied.”

TigerHawk coaches were able to evaluate a lot of players in action. In addition to rotating O-linemen, eight different players ran the ball and 24 TigerHawks were in on tackles.

The only negatives in the debut were three turnovers and six penalties for 35 yards (Postville was not called for a single penalty).

Coach’s Corner - NFV

 

Coach’s Corner

Oelwein (0-0, 0-1 @ NFV (0-0, 1-0)

In last year’s game, Oelwein broke out to a 12-0 lead, before losing to North Fayette, 27-12 in West Union. 

Last week the youthful Huskies fell to top-ranked Waukon, 33-0.

Oelwein’s O is hard to describe. It is basically an option offense out of something between the shotgun and the pistol. It almost looks like Oregon’s offensive style.

Their QB is very young, but they have some good athletes and some speed in the backfield.

On defense they use the 3-3-stack that is currently   popular.
