Golden Bears rush past Cougars

ALGONA – Five rushing touchdowns fueled Algona Garrigan to a 36-7 victory over the AGWSR football team in the Class A playoff’s first-round on a cold and windy Conway Field here Wednesday.
The top-ranked Golden Bears scored 15 first quarter points and tacked on seven in the second, third and fourth periods to make it a one-and-done post-season for the Cougars.
It was Garrigan’s third and fourth touchdowns that broke the backs of AGWSR. The Golden Bears trotted into halftime with a 22-0 advantage, scoring with just 41 seconds showing before the break, and then received the second half kickoff and scoring to build a commanding 29-0 cushion.
