Comet free zone: Sigourney finishes regular season with 49-0 win over Cardinal
ELDON – A bit of confidence never hurt. Friday night the Sigourney-Keota football team gained more than a little confidence as they start to focus on the post season. The confidence for the Cobras came via a dominating 49-0 shutout over Cardinal to conclude the regular season.  “It says a lot of our defense,” said Sigourney-Keota head football coach, Jared Jensen about the ability to gain the Cobras third shutout of the season. “We were challenged in this game too, its not like we weren’t challenged, Cardinal put us in tough situations tonight. It takes a total team effort to preserve that zero on the scoreboard. There are still things we need to work on, but overall it is nice to get that shutout. I don’t know if we’ve ever had three shutouts in one season before. It was good for this group. Hopefully that propels them into the playoff game next week.” The Cobras have shutout opponents twice in recent history. The first time was in 2023 when the Cobras recorded shutouts over Mediapolis, Cardinal and Colfax-Mingo, all three of those games were at home. During the 2020 season Sigourney-Keota recorded shutouts over Louisa- Muscatine, Cardinal and Pekin with two of those games being on the road. This year the Cobras recorded shutouts against EBF, Louisa-Muscatine and Cardinal with the latter of those two coming on the road.  Cardinal threatened twice in Friday night’s game. The first time came just before halftime. Despite getting to the Cobra four yard line, the Cobras were able to fight off the challenge and eventually force a turnover on downs.  Later, in the third period the
