Landgrebe Paces Indian Win With Five Touchdowns

Oskaloosa’s Andrew Landgrebe racked up 5 TD’s in the first half Friday night.

Oskaloosa, Iowa – “Well that was a much needed win,” Oskaloosa Head Football Coach Mike Sterner said on his way to the locker room, as his team chalked up its first of the season.

“Our kids have been doing great for quite awhile,” Sterner added. “And I’m really proud of them for that. When we focus on being our best, it doesn’t matter what the scoreboard says. Our kids just continue to come out and play hard.”

Sterner has been consistent in his talk about what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. After the loss last week to Grinnell, Sterner made similar remarks.

“When bad things happen, we bounce back. Our kids respond,” Sterner said of the teams reaction to adversity.
