Prep football roundup: Hickey scores twice in Assumption shutout
Daily Tribune Staff
ABBOTSFORD -- Shane Hickey ran in two touchdowns to lead Wisconsin Rapids Assumption to a 21-0 shutout of Abbotsford in Marawood Conference action Friday.

The win guarantees a regular-season winning record for the Royals (5-2, 4-2 Marawood), and all but assures Assumption a spot in the WIAA playoffs.

Hickey had runs of 5 and 12 yards to give Assumption the lead in the second quarter. Jake O'Shasky scored on a 1-yard run to round out the scoring for the Royals.
O'Shasky rushed 12 times for 83 yards, and Hickey ran 74 yards on 14 rushes.

"It was just another great team win," Assumption coach Tom Reichenbacher said. "The whole team was contributing, that's the type of team we have."
