The Waterloo West Wahawks promised to be a bigger and bulkier football squad this season.
Alas, all that might didn’t translate into a win on opening night. In fact, Dubuque Wahlert raced right past the host Wahawks, 42-19, Friday at Memorial Stadium.
“We’ve got a lot of speed,” noted Wahlert’s cat-quick tailback, Riley McCarron, whose 211 yards of total offense spurred the visitors.
“Even our line is quick,” McCarron added. “The line got off the ball and did a great job. … We came out with a lot of energy.”
Wahlert lists just 10 …

WATERLOO – A short trip to Waterloo Columbus turned into a long ride home Tuesday night for the Waterloo West baseball team.
The metro rivals tangled on the Sailors’ field, and Columbus took full advantage of four Wahawk errors and a handful of missed opportunities to post a 9-8 non-conference victory.
