Rossville-Riley Co. Prediction

 Rossville (0-1) at Riley County (0-1), 7 p.m.
by Seth Kinker, Capital Journal

Riley County's comeback effort against Silver Lake came up just short after falling behind big in week one while Rossville dropped its opener to a strong 1A team in St. Marys.

Rossville's secondary will be something to keep an eye on, a young group that had trouble against an experienced St. Marys offense, but I saw progress as the game went on that allowed first-year quarterback Camden Horak to settle in.

The defense as a whole will need to continue to show it can perform as they did later in the game at the start to let the offense work.

The offense still needs to find its groove to put the ball in the end zone with consistency after putting up its lowest scoring output since week two of 2019, a 14-13 loss to Silver Lake.

I'll look for Rossville to bounce back this week after a comeback effort in week one came up short.

Prediction: Rossville

Cole Schumacher At Emporia State

From Top Sports News

 Even though Cole Schumacher was a key contributor on back-to-back state championship teams at Rossville, he had to start all over again when he joined the Emporia State football team as a walk-on in the fall of 2017.

Fast forward to 2022 and the 6-foot-1, 193-pound six-year senior wide receiver is getting set to wrap up a very solid college career that has made Schumacher, as well as ESU head coach Garin Higgins, very proud. 

"He's earned everything that he's got here,'' Higgins said. "I saw him in camp the summer before his senior year and thought he did a good job and I remember going to see him at Rossville High School and talking to him about walking on. I think sometimes you can tell whether or not a kid really cares about Emporia State and I could tell that he did at that time and he wanted to be a part of our football sprogram.

"We gave him an opportunity and he's made the best of it.''

Schumacher, Emporia State's second-leading receiver in 2021 with 40 receptions for 406 yards and three touchdowns, is also proud of what he's been able to accomplish in a Hornet uniform.

"As a Hornet one of our sayings, part of our DNA, is, 'We earn everything,' and I really took that to heart and I've been able to earn the things I've been given here,'' Schumacher said. "I'm very grateful for it and it's exciting. I'm very proud of it.''
