Prairie Valley loses in semifinals

November 15, 2009

CEDAR FALLS — No words can accurately describe the agony of defeat. Prairie Valley was left feeling bitter emotions once again here Saturday inside the UNI-Dome. For a second straight season, the fourth-ranked Warriors (12-1 overall) saw their state football title dreams halted in the Class 1A semifinals with a 49-21 setback to unbeaten and No. 2 Council Bluffs St. Albert (13-0). “The bottom line is, we lost to a better football team (yesterday),” said sixth-year PVHS head coach Mike Swieter. “Their quarterback (Jake Waters) is a stud, and their offense is very explosive. “Give them credit, because they’re much better than I ever anticipated.” After falling behind 21-7 at the end of one quarter, the gritty Warriors — who were ousted by eventual runner-up West Lyon (35-14) in the 2008 semis — briefly gained all the momentum on an energizing 70-yard touchdown strike from senior signal-caller Cole Jaeschke to classmate Mike Martin.
