Quarterback Drew Knust and running back Maddex Egger stepped up in a big way Friday, combining for seven rushing touchdowns to lead the Huskies to a 49-21 win over Central City.
The 2022 Aurora Huskies completed a task few teams in the school’s history have accomplished Friday, capping off an undefeated regular season to enter the playoffs as the No. 1-ranked top dog in Class C1.

Coach Kyle Peterson praised his team in the post-game huddle for accomplishing one of its major goals — winning an outright district championship — then challenged his squad to keep the momentum going into the playoffs.
