West Prairie/Southeastern scored on its very first play from scrimmage and never looked back as the Cyclones went on to a 46-8 victory over Bushnell-Prairie City in the annual Battle for the Iron Spike last Friday evening.
WP/SE improved to 1-6 overall and 1-4 in the I8FA 8-Man West Division while the Spartans fell to 1-6 for the season and 1-4 in conference play.
The win returned the Iron Spike to the Cyclones after the Spartans captured it last season with a 36-8 victory at Baumann Field.
Since the series started in 2021, WP/SE now has a 3-2 lead.
After recovering an onside kick near midfield to start the game, the Cyclones struck quickly as running back Austin Nelson broke through the B-PC defense and sprinted 53 yards for a touchdown with 11:50 on the clock.
