Football Playoff Capsules

CANEY VALLEY (9-2) AT ROSSVILLE (10-1) — Rossville cleared a major hurdle in its quest for a three-peat, outlasting Sabetha 34-28 on the road last Saturday. The Bulldawgs rode a huge game from Jacob Bradshaw to the victory with the senior quarterback rushing for 269 yards and throwing for 207 yards with three total touchdowns, pushing his state-leading combined rushing and passing touchdown total to 44 this year. Cole Schumacher had 11 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown, pushing his season stats to 897 yards and 15 touchdowns. Caney Valley rolled past Osage City 43-16 as Baylor Melchiori rushed for 190 yards and four touchdowns and Matthew Sampson added 132 yards rushing.
WELLSVILLE (10-1) AT NEMAHA CENTRAL (11-0) — Nemaha Central reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 1997, knocking off No. 1 Silver Lake 21-14. The Thunder scored 21 straight points in the second and third quarters, keyed by David Delaney’s recovery of a blocked punt in the end zone, and then stopped the Eagles inches short of a first down on fourth-and-1 at the Thunder 17 with 1:02 left. Ryan Hasenkamp was held to just 108 combined rushing and passing yards, but scored on a 3-yard run in the second quarter and Mitchell Henry added the game-winner on a 5-yard scoring run in the third. The Thunder meet Wellsville in a rematch of the 1985 quarterfinal, which the Eagles won 7-6. Wellsville advanced to the quarterfinals for the third straight year with a 27-22 win over Galena. Reece Williams scored on runs of 49 and 14 yards, Daryon Winton had rushing and receiving touchdowns and Trajen Smith threw for 188 yards in the win.
