The Oskaloosa Indians football team ran into a buzz saw Friday night (9/24) at Clear Creek-Amana.  In the first quarter alone, two Oskaloosa punts were blocked and returned for touchdowns, an Indian fumble was returned for a score and an interception led to a Clear Creek-Amana touchdown as the Clippers went on to a 48-9 victory.  Oskaloosa’s points came on a 25 yard Dawson Braden field goal and a one yard touchdown run by Keaton Flaherty.  The Indians are now 4-1 overall and 0-1 in district play.  Osky’s next game is Homecoming night this Friday (10/1) against Newton.  You can hear that game on KBOE-FM.
