The Wautoma Hornets welcomed the Wisconsin Dells Chiefs for the second time last week, this time on the football field for their 2026 Homecoming matchup, ultimately falling 21-42.
The Hornet defense was aggressive against the run, forcing the Chiefs to turn to their passing game. Wisconsin Dells got off to a quick start and took a 35-7 lead into halftime. Wautoma’s lone score of the first half came on a quarterback rush by senior Peyton Pica, following a strong drive that included completions to sophomore wide receivers Zaden Huser and Parker Grenier. The Chiefs added another touchdown in the second half, extending their lead to 42-7, but the Hornets continued to battle in the fourth quarter. A Pica to Grenier pass put up 6 for the Hornets before the Hornet defense recovered a fumble late in the game. Taking over with excellent field position, senior Mason Dobrecevich rushed for the final touchdown of the night. A successful 2-point conversion brought the score to 21-42 with just over a minute remaining.
Following the loss, the Hornets are now 1-5 overall and 0-4 in the South-Central Conference. They will travel to Waupun on Friday, 10/2 for another SCC matchup.
