Jake Uphus ran for 136 yards with scoring jaunts covering 19 and 31 yards to lead the Mainstreeters (4-0). But quarterback Jake Berling had the decisive score when he ran 63 yards after bobbling the ball for a 22-13 lead in the fourth.
Waska rallied on a 21-yard scoring pass from Dan Braaten to Mike Stansbury for with four minutes left but the Streeters ran out the clock to protect the two-point lead.
Minnewaska quarterback Ira Ammend, who ran one-yard for the Lakers' only first-half score, left in the third period with an ankle sprain.
Adam Weber's 12 yard run in the third closed Sauk's lead to 15-13 heading to the fourth quarter.
