There’s not much better measuring stick in the area than the team just up the road. Defending 4A state champion Wamego comes to Rossville on Monday, a match that was postponed by weather a week earlier. Steamrolling toward a repeat, the Indians will test Rossville’s readiness for 3A playoff competition.
“I think we’re going
to have a bulls eye on us in that one because we took two games from them last
year when they ended up winning the 4A state title,” Rossville coach John
Nitsch said. “I think (Wamego has) had this game circled for a long time.
"It will still
count for our overall record that determines seeding for regionals, so it’s
important from that standpoint.
“It’s really huge for
our girls because it’s a bigger school we play in other sports besides just
softball. Our girls want to make up for losing to them in basketball this year.
They were ahead at halftime and let it get away.
"So it’s turned
into a little bit of a rivalry.”
The Bulldawgs will
have to grind through a busy week with a lot on the line. They will face Rock
Creek on Tuesday. That should determine the Mid-East league crown.
If the Bulldawgs want
bragging rights against Wamego, they will be out for revenge against Rock
Creek. The Mustangs, who have moved up to 4A this year, foiled Rossville’s
drive for a 3A state bid last year.
