New CJ 3A Football Rankings

From the Capital Journal:

Team  (prev. wk.) record

1. Rossville (1) 1-0

2. Halstead (2) 1-0

3. Scott City (3) 1-0

4. Silver Lake (4) 1-0

5. Wichita Collegiate (5) 1-0

Others — Beloit 1-0, Caney Valley 1-0, Centralia 1-0, Chaparral 1-0, Conway Springs 1-0, Galena 1-0, Hesston 1-0, Hoisington 1-0, Kingman 1-0, Maur Hill 0-0, Nemaha Central 1-0, Norton 1-0, Riley County 1-0, SE-Saline 1-0, Washington County 1-0.

Notes — Silver Lake never really got its high-flying offense going against 4A II No. 3 Holton. But a game-opening kickoff return for a TD by Cole Baird sparked the Eagles early and they held on in overtime when Holton missed a PAT for a 23-22 win.

Roduner On Sports In Kansas List

Sports In Kansas listed the top 25 wide receivers in Kansas.  Among them was Christian Roduner, Rossville (6-0 185 Sr.)

Roduner had a big year in 2014 with 556 yards receiving and should be an even bigger part of the Dawgs offense in 2015. He will be the primary weapon for all-state QB, Tucker Horak, to go to when he doesn’t use his feet. Coach Hammes says Roduner had a great summer, runs great routes and will be utilized when moving around in their offense.

Don (61) and Ruth Rogers 50th
