The Wetumka Chieftains football team won its second game of the season Friday night, holding the Depew Hornets to just six points. It was the second week in a row the Chieftains held their opponent to six points. Wetumka got off to a slow start, but there was a reason for that.

Although the Wetumka Chieftains offense was rough around the edges Friday night, the defense was solid, and capitalized on many turnovers committed by the Waukomis Chiefs. That led to the Chieftains winning their first game of the season by a lopsided margin, 46-6.
