Rossville had all kinds of fun at Centralia’s expense Friday night. In a matchup of highly ranked teams — Rossville began the year No. 2 in Class 2A while Centralia opened ranked No. 1 in Class 1A after winning last year’s state championshikp — the Bulldawgs took control in the first half and never let up in an impressive 42-7 rout.
With preseason 2A No. 1 Nemaha Central falling 15-13 to Holton on a last-second field goal, Rossville will move to No. 1 next week. And the Bulldawgs looked every bit deserving of owning that ranking.
