This week, Washington head coach Kelly Williams gave KCII Sports his keys to a home finale win.

“They [Fort Madison] are better than what their record states,” Williams said. “Coach Doherty does a great job with the program. We’re going to have to play our best on Friday night. Got to protect the football, and then obviously it’s going to be won up front offensive line or defensive line.”

In the Varsity Bound era, the Demons own a 10-3 series lead dating back to 2008, with the Bloodhounds having taken three of the last five.
