KPREPS 3A Football Outlook For 2016

Class 3A
      Plenty of questions surround the landscape of Class 3A football, but maybe none loom as large as how Rossville will replace Tucker Horak.  Horak’s career has been well-documented and rightfully so, but the Bulldawgs must move on in order to try and win a third consecutive 3A title.  Dawson Hammes rushed for more than 1,000 yards last fall and is Rossville’s leading tackler.
      Norton begins the season ranked second in the 3A poll.  The Bluejays are extremely talented with quarterback Jace Ruder and lineman/linebacker Jacob Green.  Even better, Norton returns an experienced offensive line that helped the Bluejays average more than 34 points per game. Tradition-rich
      Silver Lake starts the 2016 season ranked No. 3 after a second-round playoff loss to Sabetha.  The Eagles return 12 total starters including quarterback Dalton Dultmeier who is poised for another big season.  Hoisington checks in at No. 4 in the rankings.  The Cardinals return all-state running back Hunter Hanzlick after his 1,949-yard junior season among 12 other starters. Rounding out the 3A top five is the defending 2-1A state champion Phillipsburg Panthers.  The Panthers move back up to their typical classification and return 13 starters from last year’s title run, including backfield brothers Kirk and Mark Coomes.
