Iowa City Regina rolls over Sigourney-Keota in 1A playoffs

IOWA CITY — Some teams might crumble after fumbling the opening kickoff of a playoff game. Iowa City Regina leans on an equation: Events plus response equals outcome. The Regals found the outcome they wanted in all three fazes of the game. Regina forced a three-and-out after the fumbled kickoff. Holt Hinkel remedied the special teams miscue with a kickoff return touchdown, part of a 28-6 second quarter for the Regals, which ballooned into a 49-13 win over Sigourney-Keota in the second round of the Class 1A playoffs Friday, Oct. 30 in Iowa City. “That's probably what I was most proud of,” Regina coach Dustin Elsbury said. “These guys, it’s just like, ‘hey, you're not always going to have control over the event that happens in your life or football game tonight. What really matters is, hey, can you wash it? Have a short memory. Next play, get back up and have a great response,’ and those guys responded well.” Hinkel’s return made it 14-6 immediately after Ayden Galindo scored five-yard run to make it 7-6. Then, it was Regina’s stout defense and running back Gabriel Hegelheimer’s time to shine. Hegelheimer showed off his blazing speed with two rushing touchdowns
