OTTUMWA —
Tyler Albert opened the game with an 84-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and Jonathan Pedersen rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns as the Cardinal football team dumped Danville 55-16 in non-district football action Friday night.
Albert added a pair of fourth-quarter scoring runs while Dakota Showman threw a touchdown pass to Brandon Potts and ran for another score as the Comets were hitting on all cylinders.
“I told the kids after the game I was very impressed and very proud of them,” Adam Hadenfeldt. “Our kids came out very focused and fired up and ready to play. It feels very good to be 2-0.”
Showman finished with 115 yards on the ground for Cardinal, who opens district play next week at home against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

Courier sports staff
MORAVIA — The Moravia football team couldn’t recover after a rough first quarter in its 50-7 Eight-Player loss to HLV Friday.

Cole Landorf rushed for two touchdowns and Tanner Strudthoff returned a kickoff 68-yards for a touchdown in the HLV victory.
