Enjoyed watching the #5 Washington Warriors knock off the #3 Cedar Falls Tigers 28-10 at revamped and improved Kingston Stadium on Friday night. The FieldTurf is a nice improvement, though I will always like real grass more, but it is certainly a practical improvement. Our community should gain great utility from all the improvements at Kingston Stadium for various activities, not just football, track and soccer. It should be a great marching band venue.
Another parent at the game yesterday mentioned that five football games will be played on Saturday, August 29Th, including for games flooded out at other stadiums or wet grounds. If you haven't been out to Kingston Stadium recently, it's a great way to get out and vies entertainment of the game, the band, the fans and the spirit squads.
The Warriors played an exciting game vs. the Tigers Friday night. At times, it appeared the Tigers would be a very tough out for the Warriors. However, as the post-game program pointed out: time of possession was a key stat, along with three key Tiger turnovers, two in the redzone (2 INTs by the Warriors).

Nice quote from the Waterloo paper from the Warriors top RB Andre Dawson:
“We came into this game with revenge on our minds. I think that’s what led
us to be on top today. Just knowing that we lost to them to go to the state
championship game really put a toll on us. Tonight we came out prepared and
played strong.” - Andre Dawson
It doesn't get any easier in Week 2. The Warriors travel to Iowa City, to face City High. City High blasted Dubuque Wahlert in Week 1 on the road, led by a talented Division I football prospect at QB.
P.S. It's my sister's, Marcia's, birthday today, August 29Th! I hope her and her family are having a great day today as everyday hopefully is ...
