STORM LAKE — No. 8 Storm Lake remained unbeaten with a 24-0 homecoming victory over Le Mars Community Friday night in a Class 3A District 1 match-up. The Tornados ‘bend-but-no-break’ defensive effort earned them their second shutout of the season. Le Mars moved the football effectively at times but Storm Lake always seemed to strengthen in the ‘Red Zone’ to deny points. The Bulldogs finished with 252 yards of offense, getting 107 on the ground and 145 more through the air. Gabe Eckstaine was the main offensive weapon for Le Mars, rushing for 61 yards on 17 carries and connecting on 12-of-30 passes for 145 yards and two interceptions. Brayden Hoops ran for two touchdowns for Storm Lake on runs of one and 25 yards. Lamar Mulgae caught a three-yard TD-pass from Michael Demers and also kicked a 25 yard field goal. Demers threw for 243 yards on 16-of-23 passing with one interception. The Tornados finished with 361 yards of offense as they improved their record to 6-and-0 for the season and 4-and-0 in district play. Le Mars has lost three straight to fall to 3-and-3 for the season and 1-and-3 in district play. The Bulldogs host Spencer next Friday.
LE MARS — Junior quarterback Jake Lynott ran for four touchdowns and 275 yards and threw for another score to lead No. 5 West Sioux to a wild 46-25 victory over Gehlen Catholic Friday night at Jim Lorenzen Field in a Class A District 1 match-up. Lynott scored on runs of 18, 62, 53 and 25 yards and fired an 18-yard scoring pass to Victor Hernandez. Cole Wiltgen threw for one score and ran for another for Gehlen. Adam and Eli Ellensohn each added a touchdown run for the Jays. Wiltgen threw 6-yard TD-pass to Izaac Herbst with 20 seconds to play in the first half to pull Gehlen to within 22-12 by halftime. West Sioux increased their lead to 38-12 going into the fourth quarter. The Jays drew to within 38-25 with 7:32 to play on Wiltgen’s quarterback sneak but Lynott’s fourth touchdown run with 3:04 to play put the game out of reach. West Sioux tallied 475 yards of offense, rushing for 344 yards and adding 131 more through the air as the Falcons remained unbeaten at 6-and-0 while improving to 4-and-0 in district play. Gehlen had 254 yards offensively on 131 yards rushing and 123 passing. The Jays fell to 3-and-3 for the season and 2-and-2 in district play heading into a game next Friday at Akron-Westfield that will be featured on KLEM.

IOWA CITY — Justin Jackson ran for 171 yards and Austin Carr caught three touchdown passes as Northwestern held on to beat Iowa 38-31 on Saturday. Trae Williams’ interception in the final minute secured the win for the Wildcats (2-3, 1-1 Big Ten), who scored touchdowns on three straight drives in the second half for their first win at Kinnick Stadium since 2009. The Hawkeyes had scored 17 straight points to take a 24-17 lead in the third quarter before Northwestern’s surge and late stops. C.J. Beathard threw for 204 yards and a touchdown for Iowa (3-2, 1-1), which snapped its nine-game regular-season Big Ten winning streak.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Terrell Newby ran for 113 of his 140 yards and scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and No. 15 Nebraska got a scare from Illinois before winning 31-16 on Saturday. Newby touched the ball on 18 of Nebraska’s last 21 plays from scrimmage and the Cornhuskers (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) won going away after being down 16-10. They also avenged a 14-13 loss last year in Champaign. Armstrong was 16 of 23 for 220 yards, and Jordan Westerkamp caught four balls for 65 yards.
AMES — Chris Callahan hit a 19-yard field goal as time expired and No. 13 Baylor rallied from 14 down in the fourth quarter to beat Iowa State 45-42 on Saturday. Shock Linwood rushed for 237 yards for the Bears, who moved to 2-0 in the Big 12 for the fourth year in a row. Baylor (5-0, 2-0), playing without star wide receiver KD Cannon because of a groin injury, trailed 42-28 before using scoring drives of 86 and 84 yards to tie it up. Baylor’s defense finally stiffened in the fourth quarter and Seth Russell — who was 12 of 22 passing for 178 yards — drove Baylor 83 yards to set up Callahan’s chip shot. Joel Lanning threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns for Iowa State (1-4, 0-2). Mike Warren added a season-high 130 yards rushing for the Cyclones.
