Brent Maycock of the Capital Journal has issued the following prediction for 3A football
Championship game — Rossville (9-0) vs. Scott City (9-0).
Champion — Rossville. History isn’t exactly on the side of the Bulldogs, who have seen numerous title contenders in the past decade-plus that have been unable to get past archrival Silver Lake in the state semifinals. Something seems different this year, however, and junior quarterback Tucker Horak is the X-factor. Scott City has a murderer’s row to face to get to the finals and is capable of winning its second title in three years.
Contenders — Oh yeah, Silver Lake (8-1) has ONLY played in 11 of the last 12 3A title games, winning crowns in 2013, 2010 and 2006. The Eagles always seem to get it done in the postseason, so it won’t be a shock to see them there again. The East road is a little tougher this year with Centralia (8-1) joining Colgan (7-2) as former 2-1A champs looming as obstacles. The West is always tough and Norton (9-0) is enjoying its best season in years and could be a second-round foe for Scott City. Hesston (9-0) is down from 4A and has rolled, while the first-round winner between Conway Springs (8-1) and Wichita Collegiate (8-1) is dangerous. The list goes on and on ... Chaparral (8-1), Hoisington (8-1), Hutchinson Trinity (8-1), Halstead (7-2) ... as 3A is as deep as it’s ever been.
