ROSSVILLE (KSNT) – Last week, Rossville held on to beat Silver Lake 21-14 in the Class 3A state semifinals. It marked the first time that Rossville knocked out the Eagles in the postseason.
“For us it’s just business as usual,” Rossville head coach Derick Hammes said. The Bulldawgs certainly have taken care of business in 2014. Other than the two meetings with Silver Lake, Rossville won every game by at least three touchdowns. “It’s honestly indescribable,” Rossville senior running back/linebacker Nick Reesor said. “Seems like the whole town of Rossville has been congratulating us. Feels great to finally get it done. It’s been a while since Rossville’s been there.” Rossville hasn’t played for a state championship since 1992. The Bulldawgs lost that lone title appearance against Hesston. “The reception has been amazing,” Rossville senior wide receiver/defensive back Corbin Horak said. “Pretty much after every game the whole town goes together at the (American) Legion. Hangs out, talking, loving all the players.” Saturday’s opponent Scott City is also undefeated and beat Halstead in overtime last week. “It’s an amazing feeling knowing the whole town will be down there to support us,” Horak said. Rossville’s season is already memorable. Now the Bulldawgs want to add once more victory to make 2014 truly special. “Come Saturday it should be fun,” Reesor said. “Last game with the boys so we’ll give it our best.” “I think it would be awesome for those guys to really make their mark on a program with a big victory,” Hammes said.
