indianola-8

Indianola will have a do-over attempt in the first round of the class 4A state playoffs tonight, as they travel to district opponent Bondurant-Farrar. The #10 Indians fell to the #7 Bluejays just two weeks ago on the same field 28-14 in a game played in the cold, with a special teams miscue being the final difference in the contest in addition to a lack of consistency on offense for the Indians.

Head coach Eric Kluver says Bondurant-Farrar plays tough, physical defense, and the Indians will need to match that if they want to come out on top. Kluver also said the Indians felt they didn’t play their best in the first matchup, and want to show what they can do.

“When we are playing together in all three phases and complementing each other, we are a really good football team. Now is the time to put it all together, there is no tomorrow. If we are unable to do that, then we are turning in our pads and the season is over. It’s a great challenge for us, we were excited when we heard the matchup because we walked off the field with a bad taste in our mouth last time.”

The game can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA, with Andrew Swadner and Rick Wilson on the play-by-play. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30pm, with kickoff scheduled for 7pm.
