Belle Plaine wins another close one, Conway Springs, Caldwell keep rolling…
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow – The Belle Plaine Dragons continue their wild season with a double-overtime win over Neodesha, Conway Springs destroys Wichita Independent, Caldwell romps over Oxford, Udall stuns Argonia-Attica, and South Haven didn’t play. Another interesting week in high school football in Sumner County…
Belle Plaine 33 Neodesha 27
The Dragons won their third straight (when was the last time that happened?) with a double overtime victory over Neodesha. The Blue Streaks led for a significant amount of this game. Neodesha led 13-12 at the half and was up 19-12 midway through the third quarter.
Then Tristan Warren scored a touchdown with 47 seconds left in the game. Belle Plaine got the two-point conversion to make it 27-all. In overtime, neither team would score in the first stanza. Belle Plaine then scored in overtime to win. We don’t have any other further details and hope to have statistics shortly. Belle Plaine is 2-0 in district play, tied with Fredonia and Douglass.
Conway Springs 62 Wichita Independent 14
The Cardinals had no trouble with the winless Panthers. An interesting anomaly for Independent – it has scored 14 points in all five of its losses. It has lost 14-36, 14-52, 14-42, 14-62, 14-62.
Conway Springs led 23-0 after one quarter and held a 43-0 halftime advantage in this laugher. The Cardinals accumulated 495 yards. Collin Koester had 111 yards rushing, Zachary Mercer 105 and Peyton Winter 96. Scoring stats can be found here.
Caldwell 56 Oxford 8
Caldwell’s Corbin Rice threw for four touchdowns and rushed for two more en route to an easy win over Oxford. He accounted for 269 of the Bluejay’s 335 yards of total offense. The Bluejays led 22-0 at the end of the first quarter and 50-8 at the half. Caldwell is now 5-0 on the season. Oxford is 0-5. Statistics can be found here.
Udall 22 Argonia-Attica 14
Argonia-Attica fell to 3-2, but worse fell to 0-2 in district play. Udall improved to 4-1 and 1-1 in district play. The top four teams make it to the playoffs. The Titans appear to be the lone team out at the moment. No stats were available at the moment.
South Haven wins by forfeit
The Cardinals won victory without putting their pads on. Burrton did not have enough players to suit up.
