Westonka caps regular season with loss to Hutchinson
Westonka faced its fifth top-10 Class 4A opponent of the season Oct. 21 but couldn’t keep pace with Hutchinson, falling 49-15 at Rostberg Stadium in its regular-season finale. Hutchinson quarterback Graydon Rostberg threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Hanley Neumann rushed for 120 yards and two scores to lead the Tigers (6-2). Westonka has faced arguably the toughest schedule in Class 4A this season, taking on Orono, the top-ranked team in the latest Star Tribune poll, third-ranked Willmar, ninth-ranked Marshall and Delano, which was tied with Hutchinson for 10th. “It really has been a gauntlet for us almost each week this year,” Westonka coach Nick David said. The Tigers wasted little time establishing control Wednesday, covering 58 yards in four plays on their opening possession. Neumann capped the drive with a 16-yard touchdown run, and Maddox Schumacher added the extra point for a 7-0 lead. Westonka struggled offensively on its first possession. Sophomore quarterback Nolan Pease was sacked for a 6-yard loss before an incomplete pass forced the White Hawks to punt. Gavin Johnson’s 35-yard kick was returned to the Westonka 43-yard line. Rostberg capitalized, connecting with Jones Thode on a 27-yard pass to the Westonka
