Based on what they did last week, it’ll be the air force against the infantry when Montezuma plays Winfield-Mt. Union in the Braves’ homecoming game Friday, Sept. 4, at Badger-Gabriel Field.
Kickoff is planned for 7 p.m.
Last year, the Braves beat the Wolverines 76-48 and both sides passed quite a bit. But the Wolves, 1-8 a year ago, graduated a quarterback who threw for 1,188 yards on the season.
Last week, Winfield-Mt. Union didn’t throw a single pass in rushing to a 44-8 win over Tri-County. The Braves, meanwhile, got 307 throwing yards from Eddie Burgess, who also ran for 109.
