WINONA,Minn. – The good news from the Winona State University homeconing was the Warrior football victory, 48-28 over Augustana of Sioux Falls. But there were dark moments, mostly related to over-exuberant boozed-up students. Revelers in the 400 block of Main Street party threw a beer can at the arriving Augustana team being escorted to the field. Police broke up the miscreants. Police were called to 12 disturbances, most on the campus periphery. Fights were reported downtown, but tempers had cooled by time officers arrived. There were more than the usual cases of public urination and public and drunkenness. All in all, there have been more raucous homecomings in the university’s 175-year history. And less.
