Dawgs Doing Fine With New Coach and QB

From CJ Online:

 If there was any question how Rossville would make the adjustment to a new coach (Derick Hammes) and new quarterback (Tucker Horak), the Bulldogs have answered them so far.

Rossville is 2-0 against a pair of 4A North Central Kansas League teams after beating Abilene 33-21 Friday night.

Horak has flourished replacing Dalton Catron. After rushing and throwing for more than 100 yards each in the opener, Horak completed 15 of 22 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns against Abilene with Thatcher Horak catching four of those passes for 160 yards and three scores.

Dawgs Victorious Over Abilene

    The Dawgs upped their record to 2-0 with a 33-21 victory over Abilene on Sept. 13.    Unfortunately the planned on-line streaming of the game did not occur because of  "technical difficulties."
    Terry Horak had a good night passing hitting 15 of 22 for 300 yards and 4 TDs while adding a running TD.    His principal target was Thatcher Horak who had four receptions for 160 yards, three of which were TDs.

Rossville   (2-0)     13     20     0     0    ----   33
Abilene     (0-2)     14       0     7     0    ----   21

Rossville scoring:
Horak: (3), 34 yd pass from Horak, 61 yd pass from Horak, 58 yd pass from Horak
Roduner: 10 yd pass from Horak
Horak: 10 yd run

PAT
Olson: Failed kick,  Kick;
Horak: Failed run; Nitsch pass from Horak.
