After coming off an impressive 42-6 victory over the Sergeant Bluff-Luton Warriors, the Cyclones will head to Creston Friday to take on the undefeated Panthers team, which is coming off a dominant 50-21 win over the Carroll Tigers.

The Cyclones struck early Friday night against Sergeant Bluff on a 17-yard touchdown run by Senior running back Noah Schmitz with just over a minute played. The Cyclones cruised to a 42-6 victory.
